You could switch out the second "removed" for "ignored", which I think
has the same meaning but avoids repeating the same word. So:
# ------------------------ >8 ------------------------
# Do not modify or remove the line above.
# Everything below will be ignored.
(I might say "everything below it" to be more precise).
I dunno. We are deep in bikeshed territory here, and I admit I don't
overly care that much in the first place.
