User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1) Build Identifier: Have a wiki to describe the bug instead a long thread of comments that it's too long to follow (possibly having no info comments). Maybe add a talk page like wikipedia has. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:
Comments are useful. Editing stuff would override older changes. Maybe wiki may work together with Bugzilla, but it wouldn't replace it.

Of course editing will override older changes. That is the point of my suggestion. We want to remove cruft from comments by having only a comments entry with all the changes saved (history) for review. Take a look at: http://www.mediawiki.org/ It keeps track of all the changes in the history tab. There is also a discussion tab.

I know how wiki works. If you want an editable field to describe a bug, you are free to add a custom textarea to your installation and use it for bug descriptions. Now, we won't remove comments in favor of wiki. This wouldn't work with security bugs as you cannot protect pages on wiki. So I reiterate my WONTFIX.
