That sounds like a fairly strong argument for restoring deletion of comments without children.
I hear you on the rest. If we restore delete for childless comments but leave it out for comments with children, I think we’re balancing the cost to others of the broken conversation vs the ability to pretend you never spoke—your remaining edit ability means you can remove everything but the trace showing that you once spoke. I’m not sure how to make that decision, but am inclined to bow to public opinion. Can you see if you can raise some evidence for me that the community prefers one over the other?

Sounds good, except there’s that nasty race condition.
Was a poll feature added somewhere that I haven’t run into yet, or shall I do it the old-fashioned way?
A poll feature is still planned but not scheduled. The old-fashioned way still works.
Thanks.
