But all this was topped today, when I received an invitation to the WordPress Community Summit on Tybee Island, GA in October!

The leanest comments.php file ever

More to be seen as a proof of concept than the next step in Theme Development evolution, in version 1.7.0 The Bootstrap’s comments.php file will contain not more than a single call to comments_form().

<?php
/** comments.php
 *
 * The template for displaying Comments.
 *
 * The area of the page that contains both current comments
 * and the comment form. The actual display of comments is
 * handled by callbacks which are located in the functions.php file.
 *

 * @package		The Bootstrap

 */

comment_form();

/* End of file comments.php */
/* Location: ./wp-content/themes/the-bootstrap/comments.php */

Many Theme authors will argue that it doesn’t make much sense to move the entire comment business out of comments.php and they are probably right. But when I realized that it was possible to have the entire file consist of only one function call, I wanted to implement it and try it out.
