Actually the comment should say
;; Like it? Well perhaps you might want a version of it that you can
;; maintain by hand! Just use "M-x customize-decustomize" on that region of
;; code to get a human-friendly-readable version that you can instead
;; enhance on  your own without needing menus to maintain it!
(Or customize-decompile, or customize-deobfuscate or whatever.)
