PLEASE STOP LOCKING DISCUSSIONS

[coreyward]

Description

Discussions are supposed to be where the community, um, discusses things. I understand that it can be near impossible to participate in an endlessly growing number of threads, but locking issues and discussions is frustrating for everybody involved now AND in the future—things change, and locked threads mean nobody can ever note a small tweak, addendum, or new quirk on the place that the most users will discover it.

Gatsby did this and it killed their community on Github, scattering participants across dozens of other places, fracturing the community in the process. They were acquired for a pittance a year later.

Please don't lock productive, relevant discussions like this one simply because you don't have anything else to say on the matter right now. Someone will open another discussion or go elsewhere to continue it, neither of which is better.
