There are only so many parts of an article worth commenting on, and only so many points to be made, and a flat out discussion would belong on a talkpage (or equivalent), not in the comments themselves. As it is people tend to distribute what they work on and edit. Yes, many, many people edit wikipedia and such, and a lot of people may edit the same article, but it doesn't happen all at once. Comments, even if they do span multiple revisions, will only span so many before they cease to apply. Just look at gerrit as a tiny example - plenty of folks comment on plenty of things, but I've rarely seen more than one or two people comment inline on any one patchset. It's only useful for so many things, and once someone made a point there's no use making it again. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
