YC has the beauty pageant problem. After the 1st round the judges are left with a room full of 10's, and the criteria becomes "so... do you have any other talents?" It's a nice problem for them to have and they deserve their success for a million reasons, but I'm not applying because I'm sure they could find applicants who are just as appealing that can sing (MIT degree, prior startup success, already profitable, cofounder who's an identical twin, etc.)
There are other simpler reasons I wouldn't apply now--wife, 2 kids, and the Boston sessions are gone.
