So what's my opinion? I am in favor of keeping the discussion pages wiki style, refactorable, editable by all but as Timwi proposed adding a "This comment was last edited on <timestamp> by <username> which will allow other users to easily spot any abuse while keeping all wiki-advantages.
Well, the problem is, you can't have a page which is both "completely refactorable" and consists of comments which can be labelled automatically by the software.
I've thought about this, and my idea here is to keep the Talk namespace the way it is (as a wiki-editable article-like page), but re-define its purpose as containing a summary (refactoring) of past and on-going discussions (which, of course, would be taking place in the threads).
