I wish 100 was a user selectable option, or an option by group or something. But
I don't know enough server internals to know if that's feasible.

One of the primary ways that I do LUGNET research (and the way I used to do the
research on applicable prior license related threads that started this round of
discussion) is to use the search function to look for threads, then use tree
view to read the whole thread and find the key posts.
I would like to say I agree with the idea of starting a new thread for a new
major version or revision. But I would like to ask a favour of the thread
starter in that case... give a URL to the anchor point of the new thread in a
post to the thread being superceded. That way when someone comes back 3 years
later they can see the linkage.
(it's true that the searcher will no doubt find both threads if their keywords
are picked with some care, but this is a small additional aid which should not
take too much effort to do and will certainly not HURT things)
Thanks!
