I agree completely.
When the topic of a thread wanders from A to B, there's no reason to
blame anyone. It is natural that sometimes discussions wander, and
sometimes this wandering can convert a discussion of fixing a bug into
a decision about features.
When that happens, we should recognize that the topic has changed,
and handle the new topic in the way that it calls for.
