+1 to both ideas: delete at the time we address a comment (rendering the comment obsolete) and/or do so at release time if we neglected to delete a comment earlier. It’s a low-priority thing any way.
But what about comments that don’t lead to an edit to the page? I’ve asked about the utility of Solr’s new HDFS related support some months ago on a page and I don’t think it resulted in a page change. So I think if we have questions about the capabilities, the page comments may not be the right place for them. This page has a lot of comments (including mine): https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/solr/Running+Solr+on+HDFS ~ David From: "Shawn Heisey-4 [via Lucene]" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Sunday, February 23, 2014 at 1:19 PM To: "Smiley, David W." <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: Solr Reference Guide pages; turn off comments?

I have no idea what the paradigm I'm thinking of is called in programming, but it's very common in website design, and is inherent in the implementation of anacron. Describing it is harder than understanding it. :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anacron Rather than add a potentially unbearable task to the release process, we can review comments anytime a page requires a change. Anything that is no longer applicable can be deleted at that time. A good rule of thumb might be that we only keep comments that haven't been resolved or are resolved by the current minor release or its point releases. If it was resolved by the previous minor release or anything older, we delete them. There will be exceptions, but hopefully common sense can be the deciding factor.
