While not without merit, Andrew, your suggestion does assume that the thread terminates once the solution has been presented, and indeed that the solution is wholly presented on one post. As Mr Thomas quite rightly observes, threads have a habit of taking tangential routes of discourse. Under such circumstances, I fear that we may end up preserving not solutions by electronic fluff.
Perhaps we should undertake a probablistic analysis of threads to determine the zenith of information presentation? We should include in this analysis the concept of thread 'die away' (or tending to off topic).
