Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Comments are a useful feature, but their use seems to be expanded beyond their original purpose which means the 1000 character max comment length is a problem in many cases. For example, in the Deck app, comments are used to make notes on cards and often the comment limit prevents tracking detailed issues this way.
Describe the solution you'd like
Allowed comment length to be significantly longer. Perhaps 10x longer.

Research direction
Start by locating the server-side validation that enforces the 1000-character comment limit, then inspect any related comment tests and callers. Clarify the new maximum before changing it, and consider whether existing tests cover comments from the Deck app. Done means comments substantially longer than 1000 characters are accepted without breaking current validation.
