  Not exactly. Per the article, the comment in the comment was added in 2001 when the comment was recreated after someone else deleted it. The original commented out version predates the first public release back in the mid-80s.

  That's the comment saying why not to remove the commented-out code. The commented-out code itself was presumably there in 1985.
