Standard comments are stored with a `comment_type` of `''`. {{{ #!mysql SELECT * FROM `wp_comments` WHERE `comment_type` = ' '; }}} This isn't very intuitive, and does not follow the expectations set by the `post_type` column in the posts table. Changing to storing a `comment_type` value for all comments is also pre-requisite for supporting custom comment types (see #35214). This change will require an upgrade routine as well as some back-compat work. ",enhancement,closed,normal,,Comments,,normal,duplicate,needs-patch comment-type,,rest-api
