Please never commit code that's been commented out. Also see

;-)
The gif was fun, even if it's a little OTT. It does smack of religious
dogma though ;-)

Hi Sebastian,
It's "deactivated code", not dead code [1].
I'd deliberately included this 'code', as per the commit message because
I saw this as a clear part of aiding future maintenance, and it matches
the rest of the code style, i.e. the judicious placement of a comment
that says 'here's the place to pick out the status when debugging' -
perhaps it's my engineering experience that sees the benefits.
These were the key debug points I used - other's I've removed from the
series.
Philip

:>> as per DO178B safety critical software development guideline
document Terms "Dead code" and "Deactivated Code" have distinct
meanings:
Dead code : Dead code is source code (and it is a part of binary code)
that is not executed in the final system and it will be not having
traceability to any requirements (one can say unintentional code).
Deactivated code: code which is commented out or removed via #ifdef's
(it is not a part of final binary code) and it will be having
traceability to its low level requirements (its a intentional code and
it can be activated in some configurations through hardware traps for
debugging or other purposes.
