Comment:

 @peterwilsoncc I can agree that the advanced proposal to have
 placeholders, could be part of a plugin.

 The problem, though, is still there: you delete a comment, and the child
 becomes the parent.

 Another option could be simply trashing all the parent tree under the
 parent removed… Maybe adding a double check when removing a parent with
 children.

 But definitely converting a child into a parent is not acceptable, it is a
 clear defect.

 I have not reviewed the code, but even a hook action to override the
 behaviour could be also an option. What do you say @yashjawale ?
