Comment (by azaozz):

 Thinking that this has the potential to slow things considerably,
 especially when plugins perform some (remote) actions on updating a
 comment.

 How about we add another hook, perhaps `do_action( 'comment_anonymized',
 $comment_id, $anonymized_comment )` (props @desrosj for the name)? This
 way plugins will be able to hook into this "special case" of updating a
 comment.
