It's an experiment. Experiments are good. They allow us to take risks and see if something good or bad happens. Banning politics on HN is not what they are proposing, they are proposing a cease fire on HN. That is by no means a bad idea. If they propose banning news on HN permanently I'll get out my pitchfork too (assuming the experiment goes poorly). But lets put them away for a week, then talk.
