Sorry, I see no value in keeping this report open.
The #if 0s will either decay with time or they wont. Having a bug report
about it won't change anything.
Closing as wontfix.

I noticed a couple of #if 0 blocks in keyboard.c, which have explicit comments
that the code within the block is obsolete. A quick grep "#if 0" showed
about 200 instances of disabled or obsolete code in files in the src directory.

Should these instances be cleaned up?
