Updated #204
Problem/Motivation
Part of #1823450: [Meta] Convert core listings to Views. This also helps solve problems for #1978904: Convert comment_admin() to a Controller and #1946348: Convert all of confirm_form() in comment.admin.inc to the new form interface which currently needs special handling for confirm delete forms.
Proposed resolution
Converting the admin/content/comment* page to a view with operations would keep it more inline with the rest of core listing pages.
Remaining tasks
Fix failing tests.
Review.

This is appropriate for 8.0.x.
| Issue category | Task because the functionality of these listings is already in core (with custom code) |
|---|---|
| Issue priority | Major because this Meta is about replacing core listings in many places, across systems, and has community consensus for being important. Not critical because we can release 8.0.0 without completing the conversion to views and do it in a later release. Keeping the custom code (not converting a listing) will not cause severe performance or usability regressions. |
| Prioritized changes | A bit, it maybe would reduce fragility by re-using views code and getting rid of custom listing code. |
| Disruption | It will not be disruptive for core/contributed and custom modules/themes because it will not require a BC break/deprecation/widespread changes since changes are isolated to core listing custom code. |
