This ia a great idea! I was actually very surprised to find out that promoting things to article status didn't work that way be defult, as it seems very obvious.

For me at least I'd need it to do the same with blogs as it does with forum threads. I'm far more likely to promote a blog post when one of my columnists writes an article, and having all the comments being on one place under the blog entry rather than in two places makes much more sense.
