search.module -- not sure what's up with that.

It is only a code comment... false positive in the grep.

In a world where some people have actually written an alternative comment.module because the existing comment.module isn't adequate, I beg, please, do not change Drupal's fundamental architecture.

The node_comment module uses the node_comment_statistics table as well. From that point of view, it would make no difference at all whether the column were in the node table... in fact the node_comment module would undoubtedly benefit from moving it since we perform the same 1:1 join and sort that David is complaining about. This isn't my full endorsement, but just the perspective of the node_comment maintainer. -Robert
