 Replying to [comment:2 Denis-de-Bernardy]:
 > Suggesting wontfix. The pending comments icon also lets you review and
 reply to existing comments hours after moderating them if needed. I think
 the button should stay for the convenience.
 Please read the ticket description. I'm suggesting that that use case is
 equivalent to wanting to visit any content list-table (posts, media,
 etc.), which needs a different solution. Since you mention hours, perhaps
 it would make sense to hide it after a period of time?

 For sites that don't use comments at all, this will likely be addressed
 with #27111, but for sites with infrequent comments, this would be a nice
 de-cluttering step. When I say infrequent, I'm talking weeks and months,
 by the way.
