 Right, but it doesn't any more (thanks to compliance with web regulations)
 :)

 > making existing behaviour (or a reasonable approximation thereof) work
 without cookies.

 Thinking that introducing the inconsistency is a lot worse than not fixing
 this at all. Imagine what would happen if one site on wordpress.org/make
 had support for cookies so users can see their unmoderated comments for
 months, and another did not, so users wrongly perceive their unmoderated
 comments were deleted... :)
