Comment:

 Negative. Having a time frame on the editing of posts is advantageous in
 that people can't come back later and delete the question.

 Look at how useful reddit is a searchable resource (it is not) when people
 can literally automate it to delete things a few weeks later. There are
 also cases where people would be deleting their questions because of
 concerns of "how it would make them look".

 As far as thread closure, it's set to a year. Unless it's manually closed
 earlier than that, a year is plenty of time for discussion to be had.

 You can argue that the time frame is too short, but an hour feels like a
 long time for editing.
