Comment (by ocean90):

 Unless I'm missing something, that commit message should have been "Add a
 setting to **enable** comment cookie consent." as it's now off by default,
 even for existing installs which will update to the next version.

 When people updated to 4.9.6 they suddenly had the checkbox. Some of them
 were probably happy about it, now, after updating to 4.9.8, the checkbox
 will disappear without further notice. Is that really the expected
 behaviour?\\
 If something is off by default, don't we have to question ourselves why
 it's still part of core?
