Tempering out this comma in the 7-limit leads to the dimcomp temperament, with the effect of splitting the octave into four equal parts, and edos that are not multiples of 4 cannot be tempering it out. Rank-2 temperaments tempering it out include diminished, compton, bidia, quadritikleismic, octoid, etc.
See dimcomp family for a number of rank-3 temperaments where it is tempered out.
