Archive to mark as "resolved", without locking the comment?

I've recently come across a situation where I thought archiving the comment thread was appropriate: A user suggested an improvement in the thread, and that improvement was then implemented (by me).

Then I realized that archiving actually also locks the thread and prevents anyone from responding further, which is a problem since if there's any further feedback, they would have to make a new thread cross-referencing the old one.

Could the Archive tool be made to not also lock the thread? We already have a lock tool; if I wanted to archive and lock then I would just use both tools.
