Comments are shown by default in More About Requestors and contain automated notes (Autocreated when added as watcher, etc) and notes added from /Admin/Users/ while FreeformContactInfo is editable by the user. That branch is probably not definitive (it's still in review and being worked on) but it sounds like it wants some clarification in what gets column mapped. It does appear looking at the code though that those two fields are not well defined and that can be improved. -kevin
