Why remove the preexisting comment marked up for documentation
generation which indicated what it did and why, and stub it out with a
generically uninformative comment instead of just adding a deprecation
notice and literally one line of text to indicate why it was
deprecated and stubbed out? I am not taking issue with the change to
the code itself, just the removal of documentation in it.
