Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/21221

 Project:      Drupal

resetting back to patch ... i think unifying the values of node vs.
comment could be done in a separate patch. the defines are worthwhile
adding on their own.

Reading the comment.module is more confusing than necessary because of
all the comparisons $status = 0 or $status = 1. What does this mean? If
one were to go by the example in node or users, 0 would be unpublished.
Not so with comments, thus the confusion. The fix is to define
constants and use them instead of 0 and 1. That's what this patch does.

The next logical step is to do the same for node.module and to unify
both (they are inverse now) to STATUS_PUBLISHED and
STATUS_NOT_PUBLISHED.

This issue was in the queue already
 (http://drupal.org/node/19968). That other one is marked duplicate
now.

certainly a step in the right direction ... in order for this to get
committed though, i think forum.module and tracker.module need updates
(and maybe others), and we need an updates.inc entry as well.
