You are right that the rags have been terrible about getting 7.0
details right, but I remember hearing an Apple Engineer (sorry, I
didn't note the name) say at last year's Developers Conference (OK,
maybe the year before) that comments would be durable in a desktop
rebuild.  It got applause even, someone else must remember it too.

Now that we can search quickly on the comment field, it is even more
silly to keep deleting it.
