 Discovered this morning with Version 4.1 that after disabling comments
 site-wide, I was unable to disable comments for an existing post. The
 Discussion widget is removed from the possible options post-site-wide
 comment disablement and in order to disable comments for an existing post,
 I had to re-enable comments, disable the comment for the existing post,
 then re-disable comments, again. Perhaps better UX can be had in bulk-
 disabling comments for existing posts or at least still allowing the
 widget to be chosen in the Editor but with limited functionality (as site-
 wide comments are disabled).
