Commented out code in downstream forks is particularly bad as it either generates spurious merge problems ( // style commenting means you’ll have to do manual resolution for every line in the commented out sections) or hides real changes altogether (/* */ comments allow whole new functions to be added inside the commented region and go unnoticed - which might cause a compilation failure, but might also just result in different method resolution). Maybe put a comment about the removal if you want something that can easily lead back to the commit which did it.
