I am not very versed on php but does the below mean if I'm using anthing above php 4.4.0 I can comment out this code below or not?

if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000, '/');
}

function sess_regenerate() {
$old_session_id = session_id();

// We code around http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=32802 by destroying
// the session cookie by setting expiration in the past (a negative
// value). This issue only arises in PHP versions before 4.4.0,
// regardless of the Drupal configuration.
// TODO: remove this when we require at least PHP 4.4.0
if (isset($_COOKIE[session_name()])) {
setcookie(session_name(), '', time() - 42000, '/');
}

session_regenerate_id();

db_query("UPDATE {sessions} SET sid = '%s' WHERE sid = '%s'", session_id(), $old_session_id);
}
