 Replying to [comment:14 dshanske]:
 > I'm wondering if the best solution isn't to start storing the pingback
 URL in comment meta by default for new pingbacks and only check
 comment_author_url if the meta key doesn't exist. I'm worried about the
 backcompat implications.

 This seems like a good solution to me that would be backwards compatible.
 My one question that I'm not sure about is if we are currently loading
 meta for all comments. If not, this could add a DB query.
