It's a step in the right direction.
It would be hypocrisy if they claimed one thing and then did/acted another. Non-US bank accounts are listed in their FAQ and their general policy (not supported, use a US bankaccount as proxy) remains the same.
I hope Stripe changes their policy in the future (though you would have to rename your HN username then).
Now I read about this Atlas, what a hypocrisy...
I happily use PayPal since then.
