In light of this, what about the submissions that don't allow comments?

I've never really understood what those are in the first place, and am curious what they'll be following this statement of editorial independence. Are those advertisements dang does and will continue to pick and choose? Not that I really care, but they've always seemed a bit out of place.

Are you talking about the job ads that YC startups are allowed to post to the front page? Those are described in the FAQ.

Other than that, I think all live posts are open to comments.

I think it'd be interesting to see what would happen if you allowed comments on those, but it's kind of a minor thing.
