It’ll be (correctly) flagged off the front page.

Both because of general political thing but also longstanding “don’t use HN as a support channel for YC” norm.

is that much different from "don't try to embarrass YC partners on HN"? If not, why is that a good norm?

I guess because people of good will will flag those posts off the front page and people of ill will will capitalize on that

at minimum, this makes it harder for people to know why things are happening, and how to understand the norms.
