No more comments in AUR?

Hey guys, I just got done reading the newsletter and in it it talked about moving AUR to the new server. In the mailing list discussion I noticed that AUR comments are to be removed in the future:

Community is a bit of a Franken-repo, so it exists in both worlds of the
AUR and binary repos. In the near future community will be using the
same system as the official repos, and will be entirely removed from the
AUR. So there'll be no more comments for community packages.

I have to put in my own two cents here. I think this is a bad idea. AUR is a project that is great for the newcomer to Arch that wants to get involved in programming or building Arch. Comments enable the maintainer to be able to debug and improve the package. I kindly ask the developers not to remove the comment system. It is very very useful.

Read it again... Comments will still be available for the AUR, just not [community] packages. For them, we have a bug tracker.

Oh, ok. I misread it . My bad. Actually this is very good, community packages going to the bug tracker instead, seems to be the right way to go. You can go ahead and close this post if you want.
