Interestingly, [X has died] seems to be among some of the topmost upvoted posts of HN. (Based on https://hn.algolia.com/ https://hn.algolia.com/)

  I’m pretty sure that comments count as upvotes; if that’s the case, I find it a lot less surprising.

  [X has been born] posts would be a lot more difficult. Hard to know if the babies are going to do anything noteworthy ahead of time.
