Programmatically, it should be easy enough to determine if the subject
had changed, then behave one way or another.  But harder to make a
sensible judgement call about whether the subject change ought to be a
thread breaker, or not...

e.g. Adding [solved] ought to keep the thread.  Changing topic, a bit,
but still related to the prior message, ought to keep the thread.
Changing topic as a dumb way of starting a new thread, ought to break
threading.

Much easier for subject changing to not break threading, at all.  And
for users to be sensible enough to actually start a completely new
message when they should do.

George Orwell's '1984' was supposed to be a warning against tyranny, not
a set of instructions for supposedly democratic governments.
