I'm sick of the Drupal "comment" type.
I've fallen squarely into the camp that holds that the "comment" type in the Drupal schema is a waste. This should be a node. Here is a list of things you can't do (easily) because of the fact that comments are not nodes:
- File attachments
- Tagging, categories and taxonomy
- Put a comment in the book outline
- Split a forum topic by making a comment the top level parent
- Have workflows on comments
Everything that we do with the nodeapi should ostensibly apply to comments as well, yet to make that happen we have to duplicate effort with the hook_comment.
Drupal 5.0 should see the comment type disappear and be replaced by first class nodes.
