Comment:

 Thanks for the ticket, @pross. I tested this and I am able to reproduce.

 I am going to add this to the dev note for themes that are providing
 arguments to `comment_form()`. If a theme is overriding the fields in
 core, I think this should be on them to add the new field. But we need to
 help them understand why and how. I did notice that the docblock is
 missing the new field, though.

 We could also separate the display of this field into a different
 argument.

 Going to mark 4.9.7 for now so that this gets looked at.
