Comment (by jorbin):

 On the surface, this seems like a good idea to me, but I worry that the
 increase in urls that a page will be accessible under. Imagine a Post with
 200 comments.  That is now 201 urls that require DB lookups and 201 urls
 that a CDN needs to cache. Multiplied out, this could make bots crawling a
 site with a lot of comments or a lot of content more dangerous.
 Additionally,  I don't think we can use  `redirect_canonical` as it stands
 right now, since it uses a 301 which means you can never change the page
 comments are on either by switching from newest to oldest, nor from
 switching the number of comments on a page.
