Comment (by dancameron):

 If a real world example of using comments outside of e-commerce and in a
 traditional post ''comment'' scope is necessary:

 I'm in a situation were I'd like to have clients comment on a document
 (CPT). My users (of my plugin) won't necessarily require that these
 ''comments'' be filtered from the management screen but I'd expect it to
 be a support and UX issue because WordPress doesn't allow for the comments
 to be distinguished by there type, let alone a custom status. Instead I'd
 like to handle management on my own gracefully, with the help of a WP API
 to filter these comments from the default comments admin, then build my
 own comment management UI within the CPT edit screen  (or some other mngt
 screen that I develop). ATM this isn't supported, as many have already
 address, and IMO I'm using comments within a traditional sense.

 —

 I'm interested in working with someone (or a group) to get a patch going
 on this. I'm not a fan of developing a patch before it's clear that the
 contribution will be accepted but at this point I think a patch would be
 more productive and put more weight behind our attempts to validate the
 improvement to core. I agree that a two phase approach would be best where
 phase one includes the filtering out of CCTs and the ability to set a
 custom comment status).

 As far as approach for custom comment statuses, I think @nacin was right
 to associate #10856 to this issue since the current comment status column
 is "comment_approved" and creating a true comment status implementation
 would be warranted (aside from this enhancement).

 Hope this helps!
