I don't really know how comment thread collapsing works on DW, but I think the position change on the clickables thread (ie, below General Comments) could potentially become a problem for the posters who regularly use it.

Only the first comment is currently visible by default, which means that none of the other people's clickables will be accumulating views except by users who deliberately open the thread. Since they grow based on views (and depending on the site, can potentially 'die' without them), the current configuration isn't going to be providing nearly as much of a growth boost as people are accustomed to.
