 I think it might be nice to have a more clear way of disabling comments
 from the core WordPress Settings > Discussions. A checkbox at the top to
 enable / disable comments that also hides all the other options on
 disabling, just like when you disable Gravatars. This would also remove
 Comments menu items everywhere from the Dashboard and turn comments off on
 all existing posts/pages.

 I think we already know there's a lot of animo for this:
 https://wordpress.org/plugins/disable-comments/
 But it would be nice to install one less plugin, and have a bit less
 updates. Besides that, it feels like a core functionality already.

 Your thoughts?
