Thinking about this, there's no reason why PTK can't ship with an
"Immuatble Discussable" base class. This meets many needs.

If I want a site where discussion items are owned, in a stronger sense,
by contributors, then I can make my own base-class for this.

Can we define an interface that abstracts over different implementations
of discussable content?
