There's actually a few comments from time to time, it just that since they are from unregister people they end up in the moderation queue and no one seems to moderate them.

I do that when i get bored, mostly removing them because most of the times is people doing soft-trolling (i.e. "You should invest in KMail instead of in XXX") and if they didn't bother registering an user i don't feel it's needed for them to create sadness to our developers.
