Hmm, unblessed => punt it => committed and screw progressive enhancement in the 7 hours Aus was sleeping. https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/22889

Back in the day it was decided comment replies were core functionality. It either is or it isn’t, not some half assed enhancement.

This commit essentially says comment replies are no-longer core functionality. Clicking reply “too early” can currently explode JavaScript.

Result: on a large comment thread, attempting to reply to a comment can kill the feature all together even for users running JavaScript.

On an ideal network this is fine, most people are not on ideal networks. Fuck, parts of Florida are stuck on shitty 2G connections.

A three year old ticket with negative usability implications should not go from comatose to punted to committed over the course of a night.
