Whats being stated here is that there is no forum which combines two things: 1) Things that are off topic for HN. 2) Commentary from people who meat some sort of HN criteria (i.e. able to make reasonable statements and arguments).

The proposed solution seems to cover both problems. I'm not sure if it will work, but certainly the issue it is trying to address is real.
