8623	New comments upgrade guide breaks permalinks, views	Ben Spaulding	nobody	"The SQL provided by the [http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/comments/upgrade/#upgrading-data comment upgrade guide] does not preserve a comment’s {{{id}}} and therefore breaks most permalinks and any detail view that uses the {{{id}}} to resolve the url.

Neither of these cases are absolutely critical because:

 1. permalinks using {{{<url>/#<comment_id>}}} still get you to the page, just not the comment,
 2. almost no one (I would guess) uses a comment detail view.

Further, if someone was using ''both'' comments and free comments it will not be possible to preserve the {{{id}}}’s for both as they are being merged in to one table. But they could choose which one to preserve and do that one first.

Unfortunately my SQL-fu is not good enough to write a patch, or even know if preserving the comment’s {{{id}}} is possible."		closed	contrib.comments			wontfix	sql, comments, docs		Design decision needed	0	0	0	0	0	0
