So basically, every new page a person starts looking at, he used to be greeted
with the default "all comments" filter, and will now be presented the "most
relevant" filter


Personal opinion: wouldn't it make sense to display the "all comments" filter
to anonymous users instead? They could pre-filter the most recent feedback by
marking it as helpful/unhelpful. This would surface helpful feedback even more
to editors. And anonymous users don't really have much benefit from the "most
relevant" filter anyway, they're no so much the people who should act upon it,
do something with it.
