Comment (by kadamwhite):

 Thank you @flixos90 and @spacedmonkey for the patches, and the discussion.
 For the purposes of this ticket, and this ticket alone, this is what I'd
 like to see:

 - Handle Comment Types in a follow-up patch, based on the complications we
 discovered extrapolating the change during WCEU contributor day. (Follow-
 up ticket should to be created)
 - Handle blog site objects in a follow-up patch, as part of #44387
 - Leave subtype in function signature for `is_protected_meta` for
 consistency, as we modify most  other methods in that region. This has
 impact on #44238 but does not strictly overlap with the purpose of that
 ticket.

 If we limit scope in that way, I think we're good to move forward on this!
