Sure, being pro-indie is good PR.

I don't see how this helps with antitrust though. Either way, it is an actual policy. Newsworthy, at least.

Also, a comment isn't necessarily positive or negative. This isn't a poll on Apple's HN approval rating. It's an announcement of a thing Apple is doing.

Commission size has nothing to do with anti-trust here. Apple didn't increase the rate from 2008, hence there's no basis for argument of anti-trust violation. It does undermines public (non-judicial) argument that App Store fee is bad for small developers, though.
