I suggest another option: wait to see what it's like.

...is YC open to reverting to the current system if/when it doesn't work out?

By what metric do we determine if it "works out"?

i'm not sure i want to invest time shouting into an empty void with a chance someone will hear me to see what it's like.

for what it's worth, i hated the removal of the comment scores too and i'm still here.

Of course. We'd be pretty stupid not to revert something that wasn't working. Plus in any case if you tweak parameters like the number of endorsements a comment needs and how much karma you need to endorse, you can approach current HN as closely as you want.
