Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 Replying to [comment:7 rachelbaker]:
 > @swissspidy Curious why you are using `null` as the default value of the
 `wp_update_comment_count_now` filter?  Is there any reason we should not
 just pass in the `$new` comment count?

 That was my suggestion, the intention is to avoid the extra database
 lookup if the filter returns a valid value. The query is uncached and
 `comment_approved` is not indexed.
