I don't consider this a big problem yet, the quality of frontpage submissions is still pretty good. Yes, there were a few political/financial entries recently, but still they weren't completely off-topic IMHO, given the current state of the world. Sometimes, I like to read other HN readers opinions about the so-called "nonhackers news". Overall, I consider current voting system functional.
