Comment (by FolioVision):
Replying to [comment:17 boonebgorges]:
> The fact that content changes is exactly the problem. If I leave a blog
comment, I should be able to use the permalink of that comment to refer
back to that comment at any time: through a link on my own site, through a
link I send someone in an email, through a browser bookmark, etc.
In this case, as the original feature is hopelessly broken by design,
adding some fresh code to handle comment permalinks and pagination is just
sensible. No one can or would use the current comment permalinks.
@obenland
It is relatively trivial to write a redirection routine to make sure that
the old links continue to work. We've done a lot of work on the
Redirection Plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/redirection/ over the
years and would be happy to help contribute some redirection code to
handle the legacy comment links once a new working comment structure has
been written.
A bigger issue for me than handling redirection of legacy links is hashing
out new comment code and structure which can stand the test of time and
not leave us hobbled in three years like the current code.
