If you want to remove the last line of this:

#archive_command = ''        # command to use to archive a logfile segment
                # placeholders: %p = path of file to archive
                #               %f = file name only
                # e.g. 'test ! -f /mnt/server/archivedir/%f && cp %p /mnt/server/archivedir/%f'

I'm okay with that.  But if you want to remove the sample command from the
SGML docs I'm going to push back a bit harder...
