Article comments are not being moved at the same time as Forum. The reason is that the replacement feature is supposed to be separate from Discussions and is still in the design stage. The only thread-based discussion feature being removed in mid-January is Forum. Article comments, blog comments, and message walls will remain in place for now.

However, it is going to be removed at some point. Currently, the only alternative is to convert the content to talk pages. Doing this would be fairly similar to converting Forum to wiki-style forums.
