 choice / this change right before RC.

 > This option/checkbox is pretty much the same as the other comment
 options / checkboxes. WordPress has a feature to show a commenter cookies
 consent checkbox in the comments form, pretty much like it has a feature
 to make commenter name and email mandatory. I really don't see why this is
 becoming a problem now and not a month ago when it was committed :)

 Fair enough, I guess it's too late to make last-minute changes here. We
 can revert the revert :) and create a new ticket for removing the checkbox
 and the option in a future release.

 Introducing an option that's going to be removed doesn't seem ideal, but
 probably won't make a huge difference if the checkbox is also going to be
 removed.

 > My intent to open this ticked was not only to have the ability to remove
 the checkbox. Users should also have the ability **not** to save a cookie
 with the commenter's credentials at all.

 Per comment:2, the cookie can be removed once #43857 gets in.
