Our company's standards -insist- that the old code be commented out and
left in place, noted with the Assigned Task Number so everyone knows when
the code was changed.

It makes some programs almost impossible to read.

This is in spite of the fact that our Change Management System tracks 5
previous versions.  Of course, this doesn't help when a program is 'fixed'
5 times the same week and flushes out all previous versions.
