Hi, all

I analyze the web-activex rules in both 2.7 and 2.8 version. There are lots
of rules commented out (more than half). So do many other files. What do
commented-out rules mean? Are they bad rules, or as a backup for special
usage? Thank you very much!

It means they are off by default.  You can choose to turn them on, if they
apply to your environment.
