Why?

Can you please stop commenting out code without further explanations?
Either you comment out (better doing so with #if 0, for the record) and
you explain why you do so alongside in the code, for next developers
coming into the code, or you don't comment out.

So, just don't answer here, just commit an explanation ;-).

Cheers,
