Y Combinator doesn't like adding features to Hacker News. It took everything just to have collapsible threads. I can assure you that this won't happen.
This problem exists everywhere. I am not aware of any discussion platform that solved this problem, other than maybe StackExchange, which shows similar questions as you type.
The real solution is a better language which computers can understand semantically, as well as the ability to refactor discussions (merge, split, edit).
