I think the change to make would be to prohibit *anyone* from editing a
comment, even an admin, and permit deletion of comments only by admins.
(Of course even that's an illusion, since the original comment will be
replicated in mail archives around the web and cannot be retracted.)
This would permit us to remove things on request, but I don't think
folks who have admin privledges would often delete issues simply because
they've changed their mind or made a typo, the way they are tempted to
with edits.
We've tried it as a social thing for a long time, and comment editing
continues at a steady rate. It's never a good idea to edit a Jira
comment, so why should we ever permit it?
Doug
well, try it and see how well it works.
