New "Customization, Design, Programming..."

There have been several desirable features of Atahualpa that I discovered after several days of tinkering, and I may never be entirely clear on which functions come from Wordpress, not BFA.
For that reason, it seems like I should run an idea through this thread before making a mess over at the "request for features" column.
That said, I would like to have separate comment threads from certain pages activated from the page menu bar, but not all of them. Some method to exclude certain pages after activating "Allow comments on "Page" pages, too?" would work.
In my current confused state it seems like I could accomplish the same thing, only better, if we could assign new posts to a specific page, which would then become the new head of a separate thread. But that seems like it might require a WordPress revision.
Could someone straighten me out here?

And BTW, is there going to be a new program called "Themeframe" or a new Atahualpa rev 3.3.4?
