I doubt much will change. I'm not sure why, but few people seem to remember that YC has (what appears to be) pretty much the exact same partnerships with Twitter[1] and JustinTV[2]. Both of these partnerships were announced, if I remember

2 founders. 1 is too little, 3 is a bit too much and 4 is out of the question (except for Reddit?). I don't remember PG ever saying that. In fact, if I remember correctly, Flightcaster has something like 5 or 6 founders.

That list probably isn't complete yet either, those are just the current confirmed speakers. If I remember correctly, last year the list wasn't final until right around the time that acceptances were sent out.
