I like HN's move away from political discussion

I'm not sure if you're referring to attention paid to political discussions in general or the Political Detox Week. If the latter, the week-long experiment was terminated early. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13131251

the whole purpose of the detox week was to move conversation away from too many politics - so while the experiment is over, the improvement everyone saw leaves lessons we can remember. HN was just better.

Gotcha. I thought that might be the case from your phrasing. There have quite a few people who weren't aware it had been rescinded or assumed that it was a permanent thing. I appreciate your desire and efforts to focus the discussion.
