The point is that if the new code is always correct, then littering 
the code with #ifdef's makes the code hard to read and maintain. If 
you really need to make the code different for the two cases, it's 
better to conditionally define a function/macro in a single place 
(header file) and use that in the source, rather than having ifdef's 
in many places.

HTH,
