Let's say we agreed to do this. Wouldn't it lead to the comments on a bug seeming truncated, with answers to questions that aren't immediately apparent?

In this bug, for instance, let's say I added the following comment:

"""
Brad, mpt is right about points 2 and 3, which are enough for us to agree to implement this feature. I am also concerned about point 1, but unless you have further input..

Let's start work on this. I suggest we begin by adding a flag to the comments table, and changing the way displayComment() works, filtering out obsolete comments. I'm not sure how to add the control to actually change the comments to be obsolete, though.
"""

The more or less obvious thing to do would be to make the first comments obsolete. However, it would leave my last comment dangling, which would confuse at least some people.

What do you think?
