Comment (by dcf):

 I think it depends on comment pagination, whether the old-style anchor
 links work. For example, from the ticket description,
   https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-
 70a3-released#comment-263144
 doesn't work, because it's not on the first page of comments. On the other
 hand, it works if you link to the next page of comments:
   https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-
 70a3-released?page=1#comment-263144
 Similarly, direct linking to a different comment, that happens to be on
 the first page of comments, does work:
   https://blog.torproject.org/blog/tor-browser-
 70a3-released#comment-261646

 I believe this was a problem with the old blog too, where anchor links
 wouldn't work once the comment was pushed off the first page of comments.
 I'm glad that now we have the /comment/XXXXXX style for more reliable
 permalinks.

 Since the anchor links were slightly broken even in the old blog, I'm not
 sure anything needs to be done for this ticket. Though a possible
 workaround would be to make the number of comments per page in the new
 blog equal to that of the old blog. (Unless threading messes that up.)
