In that case, all comments which may be necessary e.g. in the context of
CAs (there's a whole bunch of them, e.g. 'may sign for company XY', 'member
of CA UVW' or 'ID checked via postal agency' (possible in Germany)) would
need to go into the User-ID itself. That may not be feasible. While your
point is well taken, there are also meaningful comments for which a comment
field in the signature packet would be a highly sensible place.
