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...
