Comment (by mdgl):

 Visiting from #18630 I think this patch is moving along the right sort of
 lines.  The latest version, however appears to break backwards
 compatibility with approaches such as that mentioned in comment:16.
 Developers will expect to be able to unhook `check_comment_flood_db()` and
 attach their own function to action `check_comment_flood` to customise
 this behaviour.  Furthermore, the implied double negative in the naming of
 `$avoid_die` is rather confusing and would probably be better specified in
 the positive.  My earlier patch on #18630 followed the convention
 established by `wp_insert_post()` and `wp_set_comment_status()` although I
 agree this is still a bit ugly and that the overall code base isn't very
 consistent in this regard. The new patch also has a minor typo in the
 comments: "wheter" which should be "whether".
