Comment:

 @shanebp as i've explained in this ticket #6306 "post types comments" are
 not supported in the new way of registering post types activities. It's
 still something we need to work on in future releases.

 Then you've asked for :
 > All I'm asking for is consistency in how BP 2+ handles comment syncing
 for custom post types

 So r9837 is making sure plugins still using the deprecated filters will
 behave like before the introduction of the post types activities feature.

 This means for now you need to choose between :
 - Using the new way of registering post types activities (to get the
 activity dropdown filters etc...)
 - Or use the deprecated filters `bp_blogs_record_post_post_types` and
 `bp_blogs_record_comment_post_types` so that your post type activity
 action is somehow "merged" into the "post" post type one and as a result
 comment syncing also works for your post type. Because to have comment
 syncing the activity action needs to be '''new_blog_post'''

 I hope, this will clarify the situation.

 > Should I open a new ticket?
 Feel free to open an "enhancement" ticket to add "post types comment"
 support in Post types activities.
