Comment:

 Hi @grapplerulrich,

 The proposal to use add_theme_support() to manage this change was a
 thoughtful approach to handling the significant backward compatibility
 issue, especially concerning themes that rely on the .hentry class for
 styling.

 Given this ticket has been stalled for years without a consensus around
 this, I recommend we re-add the `close` tag for now. 😃
