I did that when I listened to your comment, and I argued against it.
Disagreeing is not the same as not paying attention.

And a *single* comment on top of this group entries achieves that just
fine. You haven't provided a single argument as to why that wouldn't
be the case.
In fact, you are the one that is not paying attention.

That wasn't a request, that was an explanation of what would make your
life easier.
And if uncommented entries is a problem for you, you already have that
problem, because the entries to remove are already there, uncommented.
The original patch I sent had a comment, so that's not my fault.
This patch would not make your life any harder, so that is a red
herring. The problem is already there.
