Problem/Motivation
The Drupal 7 comment migration migrates all comments in one go, adding processes for every field instance for any entity type to the migration. This can cause a lot of bugs that the current tests do not cover, including mismatched field names, wrong or missing field plugins, etc.
Proposed resolution
The comment migrations should be patterned after nodes and taxonomy as bundleable fieldable entities.
The duplicate issue #3052117: Unable to edit view mode post migration has workarounds.
Remaining tasks
Update Known issues when upgrading from Drupal 6 or 7 to Drupal 9 or higher
Write failing tests around the current implementation.
Get #2951550: Make service for field discovery for use in migrate entity derivers into core and use that service for field discovery.
Create a D7CommentDeriver patterned after the D7 node deriver.
Eliminating/deprecating the D7Comment migration.

Comment #16
quietone commentedThe Migrate Drupal Module was approved for removal in #3371229: [Policy] Migrate Drupal and Migrate Drupal UI after Drupal 7 EOL.
This is Postponed. The status is set according to two policies. The Remove a core extension and move it to a contributed project and the Extensions approved for removal policies.
The deprecation work is in #3522602: [meta] Tasks to remove Migrate Drupal module and the removal work in #3522602: [meta] Tasks to remove Migrate Drupal module.
Migrate Drupal will not be moved to a contributed project. It will be removed from core after the Drupal 12.x branch is open.
Comment #18
quietone commentedThe Migrate Drupal Module and Migrate Drupal UI are deprecated and they are not in Drupal 12.0.0.
Issues for these modules should now be on the 11.x branch. And the changes are limited to critical and major bug fixes. Other changes are allowed at the discretion of the core Release Managers in consultation with the Migrate subsystem maintainers.
