Yahoo! "suspends" comments

Which probably means that Yahoo! comments are gone for good.

Many media outlets that end comments do so saying the suspension is temporary, but I rarely see the comment sections return. Here is the statement posted in place of the comment sections on Yahoo!:
"Our goal is to create a safe and engaging place for users to connect over interests and passions. In order to improve our community experience, we are temporarily suspending article commenting. In the meantime, we welcome your feedback to help us enhance the experience."
I have been trolling around looking for any additional statement from Yahoo! but I have not found anything. The reception on Twitter is predictably angry.
