Sure, there is a use case for announcements or posts that do not contain questions. I'd imagine that these would look like "questions" with no "answers", but with follow-up comments allowed.
I'll try to alleviate the need for threaded conversations by adding "post a follow up question", "re-post as answer" for comments and similar functions. The "linear" or "branched" discussion threads don't really work (or maybe a working format for them has yet not been found). Secondly - adding a "discussion" function in addition to Q&A will confuse people.
As for posts instead of questions - maybe it will be a low-priority experimental config option. The "main line" of this project is a strong support of a Q&A format.
