Comment (by smerriman):

 A lot of sites will currently (by choice) be displaying all comments on
 the page with the page_comments checkbox unchecked. Some of them may even
 be using themes which don't support paged comments because they have no
 need for this.

 Will this change result in those sites 'breaking' until the comments per
 page setting is manually changed to a huge number? If so, should the WP
 update automatically change this to a 'huge number' if the checkbox was
 unchecked to prevent this?
