Comment (by kimjiwoon):
While the ActivityPub plugin is currently maintained as a third-party
project, there is a strong possibility that federation will eventually
become part of WordPress core.
For this reason, I believe it is important to raise compatibility concerns
in Trac as well. If the philosophical gap between WordPress comments and
federated replies grows wider, it will become increasingly difficult to
align them in the future.
On the contrary, if WordPress core evolves toward more modern and
interoperable structures — for example, handling deleted objects with
placeholders, supporting taxonomy in comments, or considering external
object references — it will make future integration smoother and prevent
WordPress from drifting into a “Galapagos” model that ignores broader web
standards.
