I can't remember if this has come up before...

Currently the Sequences are mostly as-imported from OB; including all the comments, which are flat and voteless as per the old mechanism.

Given that the Sequences are functioning as our main corpus for teaching newcomers, should we consider doing some comment topiary on at least the most-read articles? Specifically, I wonder if an appropriate thread structure be inferred from context; also we could vote the comments up or down in order to make the useful-in-hindsight stuff more salient. There's a lot of great stuff in there, but IIRC some that is less good as well. Not that we should actually get rid of any of it, of course.

Having said that, I'm already thinking of reasons that this is a bad idea, but I'm throwing it out anyway. Any thoughts? Should we be treating the Sequences as a time capsule or a living textbook? (I think that those phrases have roughly equal vague positive affect :)
