No, not in a million years.
Comments have reason. There are good reasons to recommend against them,
and perhaps GnuPG should be updated so that the system does not ask for
a comment by default, but when they exist, they may sometimes provide
valuable information.
e.g.,
Wouter Verhelst (XMPP only) <wverhelst@gmail.com>
If you send email to that address, it is highly unlikely that I'll see
it (I open that mailbox once a year or so).
The list should be fixed so it contains the comments, rather than
"edited" for badly-placed advocacy against comments.
