The only useful purpose for this link when there aren't pending comments is to get to edit-comments.php to manage approved and spammed comments; however, this is much less actional than the other links in the toolbar (updates, add/edit/view posts, profile, etc.). A link to the Posts list table would be as useful if not more useful than this link to the comments list table, and would serve effectively the same purpose. There is always the potential to add a content-types menu, or even a toggle for the entire admin menu, to the toolbar in the future, but for now it seems wrong to include the comments link in this context when there are no pending comments. Especially for sites that don't use, or don't often receive very many/frequent comments (which unfortunately is likely the majority), the comments icon in the Toolbar is clutter that should get out of the way when it's unneeded." defect (bug) closed normal Toolbar normal wontfix has-patch has-screenshots ui
