I don't think CodingStyle says to do this. :)

Ram, I'm not sure where this came from, but this looks horrid.  Please
don't do this to the file

Please just leave this, or remove it from the file.  It was a long line
so it could be copied and pasted, this ruins that.

I think this is just randomly removing code now.

I think you should probably just drop this patch.  It's not really
brining anything useful.
