Comment (by mordauk):

 Regardless of whether storing things like payment notes in comments is
 "proper", I still think better support for custom comment types has a lot
 of merit.

 Pingbacks and trackbacks are custom comment types. Why not make it easier
 to support more comment types like that?

 The issue right now isn't so much that we don't have support for custom
 comment types, it's that we don't have support for separating comment
 types out from one another.

 Anyone can go and create a custom comment type right now, but any comment
 inserted with a custom type will still be included in the default comment
 tables and lists, and removing a comment type from those queries is rather
 expensive, as shown above.
