Of course this is the most obvious solution, least intrusive that changes the least things and as far as I can see has only positive side-effects.
But for some reason or other pg won't do that.
I know there's some extensions/bookmarklets and I use them, but they can't do the auto-collapsing based on score+amount, the very simple yet elegant algorithm Reddit employs, pretty much the one thing that is absolutely necessary to have a well-usable threaded commenting system.
Instead, pg "just wrote the simplest thing first", or something.
