Magento – DROP TABLE syntax commented in install scripts

install

What is the purpose behind having DROP TABLE IF EXISTS in commented SQL in Magento installers?

-- DROP TABLE IF EXISTS {$this->getTable('admin_assert')};
CREATE TABLE {$this->getTable('admin_assert')} (

I know in mysqldump certain comments can be executed – how is this used in Magento setup scripts?

I'm sure it was inserted for debugging purposes to test the creation of the table.

Then it was commented to not use it anymore and forgotten :)

Look on the version, it is pre-beta.
