Actually, it did propagate out to the main website, because this was
back when the comment moderation was done after it was already
published. (or rather - the comments were added at that time, but the
cleanup was done after it was changed). The change to pre-moderation
made a lot of difference, and without it the cleanup wouldn't really
have been worthwhile.
