I think this would be a great approach. If we have a superpower, it's 
documenting things.

The remedy also fits in well with how we handle a lot of conversations 
that are both perennial and annoying. Instead of deleting the comment, 
somebody just says, "That's already been discussed thoroughly at WP:XYZ. 
Consensus seems pretty established, but bring it up there if you want to 
change things."
