Comment (by dshanske):

 I was thinking about #35532, which asks for an alternative mitigation
 strategy for the resources used by Pingbacks.

 One of the things I mentioned in regards to load as a possibility was to
 store the pingback and do the source verification later. So if there is a
 flood of pingbacks...the system could store them all but verify them over
 time.

 That would require a comment status that reflects something that needs to
 go through the normal verifications and spam filters...but has not yet
 done so.

 I could see some other use cases for those individuals who use comments in
 non-standard manners...such as for purchase orders and such.

 Specifically in regard to this way...lowest hanging fruit. I know there
 are some people interested in custom comment types for 4.6. I suppose this
 could be implemented in a different way as part of that, if it ends up
 being something focused on.
