Hi Craig,

With the latest release of Codestriker, you can get pretty close to what 
you want I believe.  When a topic is moved into state "closed" (or 
"committed") the topic effectively becomes read-only.

In your situation, if you want to "obsolete" a topic, I would do the 
following:

* Go to the topic properties page, and do the following:
   - Change to state "closed".
   - Prepend "OBSOLETE: " to the existing topic title.
   - Append the URL of the new Codestriker topic which replaces it into the 
topic description.

When creating a new topic, you can also add the URL of the topic it 
obsoletes into the description.  That way, you have your links, and it 
will be very clear to the reviewers when a topic has become obsolete.
