 Since `comments_open()` and `pings_open()` have been around for awhile,
 the packaged themes should make use of them instead of doing something
 like `'open' == $post->comment_status`.  The latter is exposes too much
 internal workings and is not filterable.

 The comments.php file for the classic theme makes use of these calls, but
 classic/comments-popup.php does not.  And for the default theme, neither
 comments.php nor comments-popup.php make use of the functions.

 The attached patch modifies those three theme files to make use of
 `comments_open()` and `pings_open()` where appropriate.
