The no "comments are closed" message is a legacy item that may need to be reviewed. Although I agree with its current implementation regarding pages I would be open to a compelling argument to allow for special use cases; but, again, the Theme repository is not a destination for rare use-case themes but one for themes that are designed to meet a great many users needs and wants and essentially a more or less generic use-case fashion.<br>

Actually, I would argue that this message should be displayed if
pings are open:<br>
<br>
"Comments are closed but trackbacks and pingbacks are open."<br>
<br>
I would never say a theme couldn't have that. Even my themes show a
message similar to that. And, this was a decision made by my theme
users, not me.<br>
<br>
Personally, I don't even check for a "comments are closed" message
at all in my reviews. I consider that a theme developer's choice,
even if I don't like the message sitting there on pages.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

facilitate Page-based sites that use WordPress, for which
references to comments on Pages would be undesirable.
