 Hi @johnbillion,
 Thank you for raising your concerns. This ticket was approved by @gziolo
 (another committer)
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/65012#comment:2, following the
 normal double sign-off process before committing. It was only committed to
 trunk and has not been backported into the 7.0 release branch as of now.

 Akismet to be inserted there.

 It's worth noting that the approach used to add Akismet is the same as the
 one used for the other three connectors we already had, using what is
 currently possible. And in the future, we could iterate on both Akismet
 and the other connectors.
