Comment:

 @fabioneves I fairly sure we don't want to remove support for comments
 completely, just turn them off by default for new pages. Removing support
 drastically changes pre established behavior and would require a developer
 to turn them back on. I'm going to spend some time on this today and see
 if I can come up with a solution based on all the comments and Slack
 discussions.
