 I think your proposal are way too complicated to be a simple enhancement.
 They are a better fit for a
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/handbook/about/release-cycle/features-as-
 plugins/ Feature Plugin].

 I'm trying
 [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63931?replyto=22#comment:20 to
 keep this as simple as possible] to be a simple enhancement patch.

 But if you want to dream big with all those syndicated comments and new
 post types for comments, consider applying for a Feature Plugin. Be aware,
 that regardless of the direction it takes, it could always be improvement.

 But I think we should make a smaller fix first before dreaming big.
