+// BUG-2683, the case it was filed for: a bulk move to a collection with no
+// home for an ORDINARY schema field records that field in the move's activity
+// row, as the single move does (BUG-2674). The report was threaded out of
+// bulkMoveCollection by TASK-2878 (#1246); its existing pin,
+// TestRelationDoors_BulkMoveReportsDroppedFields, exercises only a RELATION
+// drop, so the plain-field case this bug names was unpinned.
