It's HN's mods' convention to tag articles in that style [0]. If we want to have a conversation about every eccentric thing HN's mods do to this site, and whether they make sense or not, we'd be talking for a long time.
(That person's comment was benign, in my opinion, because the mods are going to manually hide this subthread anyway—it's a minor and short-lived distraction. It's a pretty common interaction on HN: there's a meta-discussion about the HN submission itself, "please edit the title / please change the URL to this one / please whatever", and 'dang steps in and says "Thanks! Fixed", and then he kills the subthread because it's no longer relevant. I feel this status quo is basically okay?)
