The real question is whether HN and YC have outgrown each other yet - I don't think HN is going to scale to many more seasons of YC, it's become the next in line on slashdot / digg / reddit and I think that balance has already tipped the scales against people here out of a deep interest in YC.
And of course at the same time YC are huge now, there's probably 80+ startups in this batch and enough alumni a site like TC could be created that exclusively reports YC news.
