I check https://news.ycombinator.com/best from time to time and wonder why it's not linked in the header. Is there more to it why that's not the case?
Because there are many more such lists <a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/lists" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/lists</a> and putting them all in the header would lead to clutter.
