 I don't think either of the cited tickets are suitable duplicates of this
 one. Trunk WordPress still doesn't support the feature requested by this
 ticket: separate user control over the number of items in the comments
 feed.

 nacin's earlier patch made the point of establishing a new setting for
 "comments_per_rss", and added UI to the reading options in the settings
 admin UI. Neither of those goals is achieved (so far as i can tell) by the
 tickets cited as duplicates.

 Take a look at wp-includes/query.php line 3129 in today's trunk core
 sources to see that comment_feed_limits is derived from posts_per_rss, and
 there doesn't appear to be any user setting for overriding that.

 It seems that because the patch was never approved, it will probably need
 to be revised to apply cleanly on modern trunk. I can take a stab at this
 unless the climate has changed since 5 years ago and it is no longer
 thought this ticket stands a chance ;)

 If it's going to be closed, it should be closed as invalid instead of
 incorrectly stating that other tickets have rendered it moot.
