It's quite a common way in the Emacs code to comment out with #if 0
with leaving some explanation about why it is disabled.  Especially
for the case that people might make the same mistake again in future
unconsciously if that part were completely removed.

Cleanup tasks are usually tedious, and thus would be much appreciated
if done carefully and appropriately.  But as they are also inherently
optional, not appreciated if done less carefully or unnecessarily
aggressively as in the case of MULTI_KBOARD.
