People say exactly --- I mean EXACTLY --- the same thing about Craigslist every day, and Craig Newmark keeps saying "anything I add to the site could take away from it in some other way", and there you have it; Times New Roman, browser-default <a> listings in non-semantic, hard-to-scrape lists, etc.
I don't use Craigslist, but HN is not the same sort of site at all. There are features that would add positively to HN that wouldn't detract anything from it.
