Disable comments on change records

Problem/Motivation

I noticed the change records have comments on by default. I prefer people editing the record than just commenting. I could see a potential explosion of comments when D8 get released with lots of support requests in it.

I see it already with other parts of the documentation. Can we disable those for new change records?

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.

    Yes, let's disable comments on change records. They are simply to record a change that occurred at a given time. I agree that If a change is needed to the change records itself, then someone should just edit it. If the change caused a problem then an issue should be opened in the relevant issue queue so that maintainers and the community know about it. For me, this part is crucial because I would guess that most maintainers monitor their issue queues and not the change records for.

    And for other discussion or information sharing there is Drupal Slack and blog posts.

    In regard to cleaning up existing comments, I don't see the need to do that. I think they can stay as is.

    It would be ideal to clean up existing comments after turning them off, so there is one less thing to migrate and otherwise maintain long-term.
