Once the question(s) and/or suggestion(s) in a bug comment have been answered/decided and incorporated into the bug description, the comment should be marked obsolete so that people coming across the bug for the first time don't have to read all the comments (just as people reading a Wikipedia article, for example, don't have to read the article's entire archive of Talk pages). This should be done by presenting bug comments on the page for editing a bug report, with an "Obsolete" checkbox for each one. Then when displaying the bug report, obsolete comments are collapsed by default (but still visible if expanded).

Is this a feature that is really going to help a Malone user kick ass or does it risk being another nail in the coffin of the new user approaching Malone?
Do we have any evidence so far that Malone users are actively keeping descriptions up-to-date?
