Comment:

 Something feels a bit off about this. I can't put my finger on it.

  * The query for a comments feed looks kind of nasty. Is it actually
 necessary for `/comments/feed/`? I don't think so. I think it's only
 necessary for a comment feed for an individual post, which should be a lot
 easier to query and wouldn't require the IN or MAX. Can a comment feed
 other than `/comments/feed/` have comments from more than one post? Should
 we even try to support that with an insane query that could be a slow
 query against a huge DB table? I'm not sure.

  * This doesn't patch atom feeds.

  * What's the purpose of get_lastcommentmodified()? Assuming the atom feed
 is also updated, it won't be used anymore. Seems like we might need to do
 some tweaks.
