I'm reopening this bug for multiple reasons:

Firstly, it's unequivocally a regression. You can have plans to expose information in other ways, but until they are live, I don't think there's reasonable justification for intentionally removing functionality. (On edge, maybe, on lpnet, definitely not.)

Secondly, even if you do reveal ALL the information formerly available in the activity log, *including* links to removed attachments in the librarian (if you omit those, you'll need to think how people recall attachments should they be removed by bug vandals), I feel there is still a valid use case for wanting to read the metadata activity of a bug undistracted by comments (particularly if a bug grows to have a huge number of comments).
