What's being requested is support for fully threaded forums - not just posts.

I'm still interested in pursuing this as I've got several hundred users that are currently using this mode in my 3.0.x version. I've looked at the 3.5 code a bit and it seems like most of the existing hack can be done using hooks but that some new hook locations would need to be added as well in the 3.5 threaded code. I'd really like to avoid editing the files as it makes life a bit of a pain to upgrade to newer versions.

The thing I find interesting is vb's adamant stance on "we ain't going to do it" when it would, in fact, be pretty straightforward for them to implement and maintain.
