[wp-hackers] WordPress 3 - comment_form hooks

[Otto]

I don't think it's a good idea to cater to people not upgrading. If
they can't upgrade, then they need to solve their issues there and
then upgrade first.

If a theme wants to be backwards compatible, it can do so. It doesn't
need a compatibility plugin to do it.
