I'll review the other patches later, but I'm not keen on your removal of 
some of the comments in this patch.  I don't see why line count is so 
important, and you're removing some informative text.  I can see 
removing trivial comments and outdated ones, but "no-so-useful" and 
"over-descriptive" are subjective.
