Maybe someday, but at the moment it would require a significant code rewrite. I'm not saying its impossible but it would require a lot of effort and the focus right now is on performance. So keep it in your back pocket and maybe remind me a little while down the road. I've got a lot of ideas that I'd like to see happen so does @AOU and I'll throw this one in my back pocket.
I mean think about it this way, that would mean a serious database schema change(attaching a read/not value to every single comment), the last time we had to do that poal was down for 12 hours. Making that kind of a database change means shutting down then applying the change to the entire database. With the size of it now it could take a day to do that.
