Some of it is simply people being polite and leaving another developer's code in the file rather than deleting it for them. However, unless the person who #ifdef'ed the code tells the other developer to look at it, this is unlikely to be noticed and thereafter deleted. > Elimination of dead code (as we all know, CVS is really good for tracking > past changes) and better documentation would be really helpful.
