The no embargo policy is really only enforced for startups that don't know what they're doing. That happens to be a lot of otherwise-unknown YC startups that choose to launch on TechCrunch.

I don't see how it's at about principles at all or at odds with giving stuff to readers--it's always been about embargoes getting broken, and nothing else, as far as I know.
