In my experience, whenever a death in the industry makes the frontpage of HN, the black banner has come out. I don't think it's terribly presumptuous to bring it up. I won't hold any ill will toward pg or the rest of the HN mods if they decide he wasn't significant enough or close enough to the HN community or whatever.
