I'm not particularly surprised.
How much do you think the long term value gained from HN has been impacted by the slow down today?
My bet would be not very much at all - I doubt there are few regular users who would be deterred from coming back.
Plus there is no income stream to protect.
Thus justifying a non-lean approach seems a stretch. Generally things appear to work pretty well here and the odd day where things aren't perfect isn't the end of the world.
