Comment (by dd32):

 although there's definately use-cases where you want these to be
 modifiable by a client, these are also internal values at present which
 cannot be modified through any UI.
 They feel like they should be set by the server based on it's called
 environment and never be updated, which is probably why the code is like
 it is.

 For example, would you want any regular authenticated user who can comment
 to be able to modify the IP or user agent that their comments are stored
 as? (Note: I don't know if the REST API currently plans on limiting it
 somehow)
