[consulting] update on making comment tagable?

[George Por]

hola Drupalistas!

2 years ago I invested some funds to pay consultants for configuring
nodecomments on Drupal 5.x to make comments tagable and, at the end, it
didn't work. 

Is there any news whether the people in charge for the Drupal architecture
are awakening to the fact the the most interesting conversations (and
knowledge development) are happening in the comments, and making them
tagable would be a blessing for many knowledge communities using Drupal?

If not, does anybody know about a workaround hack that works in Drupal 6.x?
