What is the point of the Commentary feature?

I'm a bit confused about why the Commentary feature even exists.

I mean, for the audio-tracks, we have the Commentary"language" - isn't that enough to indicate a commentary track? Or is the Commentary in the Features section a whole different kind of Commentary?

If it is the same, wouldn't it be a whole lot easier (and less confusing) if the Commentary feature was automatically set if/when there is a Commentary audiotrack available in the profile?

There could be subtitle-only commentaries.

And I believe the check box for commentaries has been there since before there was an option for a commentary audiotrack.

It IS a feature isn't it, Rander. Then we can further define it in the Audio section, I look forward to someday being able to define it further in the Features section.

I'm not puzzled by this feature but I've always been puzzled about the commentary subtitle... Is it for commentary subtitles or subtitled commentaries? I've never figured that one out...

I don't know what the intent was - but I generally see it being used for both.
