If I include GENERIC can I comment out the following?

Well, it's your (copy of) the file; I suppose you can do whatever you
want to with it. :-)
Ken's original point is a valid one. The way we have created config
files in the past was to duplicate GENERIC and edit the copy. Recent
postings have indicated that the new methodology will be to 'include'
GENERIC and override certain features using the nodevice tag. This
sounds like a great idea to avoid using diff to figure out what
crucial features changed from one release to another.
But it will only be useful if we don't have to edit the GENERIC file.
Otherwise we are back where we started, editing a file which is
overwritten by cvsup.
