It's commented out because the changes are going into the maint branch, which does not yet have metadata_csum support. Once things settle down, I'll uncomment the text on the next/master branch, but I didn't want to do that until we were done editing the man pages, to avoid merge headaches. I guess most people aren't as conversant with nroff macros any more --- it was pretty obvious to me they were commented out.
