Comment (by jnylen0):

 > I disagree that discarding the return value is a viable option here,
 it's not.

 Can you elaborate, please?  There are no other possible return paths from
 `wp_update_comment`.

 I really don't care how this is fixed, but it's a pretty nasty bug in the
 API and needs to go in 4.7.
