Hacker news or Y Combinator news? Why does it matter?

Ok, I haven't been reading this for very long, but why does it matter that someone over there in YC Land decided to change the name? I'm not suggesting that it's a good or bad thing, I'm just curious.

A policy change about what stories are considered on/off topic was made in addition to a name change. The policy change is what matters.

@7media: yes that shows that it has changed, but doesn't really say anything other than that.
