Here is what we currently apply about comments in cleanup:
 - When a comment is outside the change, it is kept as it is,
 - When a comment is related to a code that is replaced and functionally does the same thing, it is kept as it is,
 - When the comment is inside a removed code, it is considered as no more relevant.

The user should be able to cancel the rule anytime a comment is lost. The idea is to run all the cleanups safety, so with low review, and then process the remaining cases, requiring a review and corrections.
