The discussion has happened in bug 588292[1]. For a succinct summary, see tha bug's comment 37[2]. For the reasoning behind restricting comments, see that bug's comment 116[3]
In general, it's very unlikely that a basic point as the one you made wasn't considered in a discussion spanning 230 comments in two bugs (plus some duplicates), so not getting a response to it isn't any more unreasonable than not reading up on the bug's history before commenting. In comment 82[4] of the bug you commented on, Justin points out that considerable deliberation has happened before this change.
