Wonder if this means Terry Davis gets to live on HN? It will be interesting to see how this system handles "controversial" user accounts.

"Gets to live"? That wording gives me the willies. But if you see substantive (e.g. on-topic technical) comments that are [dead], you should definitely vouch for them.

Is it really any creepier than using "dead" for comments not being visible by default?

I'd say very much so. One refers to a comment, another to a person.
