Where can we tie a generic Field UI?

I think the IA decision to put Field UI configuration pages into the context of the fieldable entity is wrong.

Here are two reasons why it won't work out that way:

  1. Fieldable comments: If comments are fieldable, then we want to create separate field bundles per-content-type. So where will the field management pages for comments live?
  2. Fieldable fields: Where is that supposed to live?

Why did we implement that Field UI IA in the first place?

    Thank you for sharing your idea for improving Drupal.

    We are working to decide if this proposal meets the Criteria for evaluating proposed changes. There hasn't been any discussion here for over 8 years which suggests that this has either been implemented or there is no community support. Your thoughts on this will allow a decision to be made.

    Since we need more information to move forward with this issue, the status is now Postponed (maintainer needs more info). If we don't receive additional information to help with the issue, it may be closed after three months.

    Thanks!
