I've never seen anything on wine-devel / wine-forum / winehq.org front page / wiki about removing old comments until one day I got 100 or so notifications of comments removed by you. And message threatening to remove all maintainers if they don't remove old comments themselves...
I wouldn't call this an official means of communications and discussing wholesale changes. If you think that old comments must be removed, you should ask first interested parties on at least wine-devel if there are any objections/comments/etc. You failed to do so.
