Comment(by hailin):

 sorry I wasn't aware of this discussion earlier.

 1. "change the comment walker to ignore the depth limit when listing
 comments"
    we can just call the walker with max_depth = big number (such as 9999),
    but don't include "reply" link on comments beyond the max_depth.


 2. "the walker should enforce the max_depth, and treat all comments beyond
 a certain real_depth as being of max_depth -- with the two variables being
 counted for separately"

   This may work well, I think. Say if users first set levels to 10, then
 changed it to 4. So for all comments between level 5 and 10, we just put
 them on the same level as 4. Not sure if there is any side effect.
