That way, if someone breaks a thread, you can't reattach the
conversation to a bug. And you couldn't take a thread off a bug or to a
new bug.
A heavily email-based tracker such as debbugs works almost like that,
but for those mentioned reasons, it's simpler to have the messages
belonging to a bug stored separately.
