It's not like the discussion it followed was constructive. Let me summarize the important points:

So, we assume that there are a bunch of useful people, with overlap between groups. There is overwhelming support for comments. Comments aren't going anywhere. Ability to modify things is limited. The wishes of the aesthetic-focused group probably can't be accomodated in a way that will be satisfactory to them.
 * 1) Comments and Discussions clutter up the page, even though both of them are literally at the bottom of said page, and Comments don't even load until you scroll there first. I guess that perhaps some people navigate the Internet by mashing the "End" key.
 * 2) Comments aren't actually comments. This one doesn't make much sense to me, maybe someone can educate us and/or Wikia about that one.
 * 3) Requests for various features that are impossible, by people who don't understand how this thing works. There is perhaps a way to make a meaningless cosmetic change to Discussions.
 * 4) Comments aren't going away again. Probably.

Seems like the logical next part of the discussion is to say "tough luck" and go out for ice cream.
