Comment (by earnjam):

 [attachment:44141.diff] looks good and works well for me.

 I don't think it's necessary to store an array of the fields that were
 anonymized instead the boolean that you have in your patch. IMO, the point
 of anonymizing is to remove any indication of who made the comment in the
 first place. In that regard, it ''might'' be helpful to know that it was
 anonymized for overall tracking purposes, but it doesn't matter what
 specifically about the comment was anonymized.
