optional end time for comments

22 votes

In some cases it would be useful to add an end-of-life for comments. If they last forever they sometimes cause confusion after months and years.
This feature ist not covered by ack/downtime because of their different behavior on state changes/dashboards.

For some issues, we do want to keep them visible but still add a comment to a service, that this issue is already WIP. Currently our admins forget to remove this comment after they are done. It would be good to define an expiration time for comments as well, which would automatically cleanup such comments
