Let's see if I can clearify.
The message starts out with a "I fail to understand".
I'm suggesting that just because we don't understand why the original
author made those paticular config entries, is no reason to remove them.
It may be apropriate to comment them out if they are no longer
needed on current models.
What I am trying to avoid is removing altogether entries from the
config files that MAY still be necessary for some older models. 
If they are left in as comments then the knowledge is not lost.
