Well, for me, mentioning it commented out together with other features like $ModLoad imudp, $ModLoad imtcp,.. would be perfectly ok. IMHO the best place might be the after the line #$ModLoad immark # provides --MARK-- message capability adding #$RepeatedMsgReduction on # "Last line repeated n times" feature which for me is a compatibility feature, too.
