What use is loading hundreds of comments nobody will ever read, every time a user opens the page to post yet another meaningless, pointless comment?
And where exactly is your data proving that NOBODY wants to read those comments?
Do not assume that your personal preferences are shared by everyone. Gauging from the strong reactions whenever this topic comes up, I'd say it's clear that many users like the comments and resent having them deleted.
As for the page you linked to as an example of the terrible hardship caused by all those useless comments, it loaded just as fast for me as pages without any comments, and the comments aren't even visible unless you intentionally scroll down past the test reports and maintainer notes. I fail to see any problem for those of us who don't want to read them. (Not that I would object to a separate page; I just don't see a pressing need.)
But none of this has anything to do with this bug, which is about enhancements to the admin backend. Putting comments on a separate page is a separate issue.
