Ask HN: Will HN put black bar for the death of Ian?

The death of Ian was just a sad event striking the software and Open Source community, and i strangely believe that this man deserves black bar on HN for all his contributions and help of the technology, do you have an idea if it will happen ?

I hope it does and hope the truth will come to light too.

I vote yes.

This was a very sad day for the entire FOSS community and, why not, Computer Science as a whole. The improvements Ian provided certainly pushed CS forward in a number of areas. Black bar is certainly deserved, as well as exposing what really happened.

May Ian's work and legacy motivate existing contributors and bring new ones.

Yes, please! I don't understand why it hasn't happened yet.

I agree, but at the very least please explain the policy here. Even if it is what HN feels is right just tell us what the policy is.
