I think that comment is valuable. It shows that checking the
sibling directories was considered and didn't seem worthwhile.
Perhaps it should be rephrased in a more positive way (without XXX),
but merely deleting it is a net negative because future hackers
would have to reconstruct that reasoning.
BTW, we're working in a 30+-year-old code base, so the mere fact
that a comment has been there a long time does not make it bad.
