I don't think that was ever promised by Apple. I think that was just
inaccurate reporting on the part of several of the trade magazines. I
don't know...I could be wrong. I don't read all those rags, so I don't
know what's been officially stated or not. All I really know is that
no one in engineering ever told me "...and yeah! We'll be preserving
Finder comments, now, too!"
