I agree. Getting rid of COMMENT also sounds reasonable to me although
that might produce more backward compatibility problems since it's more
likely to have been used. But since the functionality is easily
achievable (through :noexport: tags and #+BEGIN_COMMENT/#+END_COMMENT
blocks e.g. - one can even add a :comment: tag to the EXCLUDE set if so
desired), it should be possible to deprecate it for a while, and then get
rid of it. As an added bonus, we can then get rid of one of the (iirc)
"questionable" keydefs: C-c ; won't have anything to do.
