We could also make the comments collapsed by default to clean up the page

professionalism, even Microsoft has user comments on MSDN:

And frankly, in my experience such comments were immensely helpful in a number
of cases on various
online documentation sites (including MSDN and ...PHP). They are like an
in-place stack overflow
discussion that you don't have to search for, often with some real gems.
Yes. I very strongly believe we need to have a form of
community-provided contents. (Not sure whether disqus is the most
appropriate vehicle, but since it's the only one that's currently
implemented, it's by definition the best we have.) So I'm willing to
fight issues and do more work as a moderator for the sake of crowdsourcing.
