Adding some commentary to it to explain what the purpose of the code is (and why it hasn't been enabled) would be helpful, at least. But the code's been around since 2006, apparently, so at some point it's probably time to admit defeat. But perhaps adding some text to explain why it's there will entice somebody to look at it? And then if that hasn't happened at the 20 year anniversary of the code, we can revisit this issue.
