I'm working with member profiles... but I'm sure other templates use $blocks

I want to hide some of the blocks, like $blocks[vistors] etc.

I don't see anything in the control panel to disable some of this stuff so I'm just hiding it in the templates, but I don't want to straight up delete it in case at some point I want to reintroduce the functionality.

So I'm commenting out the code, but this doesn't work <!--$block_data[latestentries]-->

Instead I need to do this <!--$--><!--block_data[latestentries]-->

The $ sign needs to be commented separately.

1) Am I making a workflow mistake by commenting code rather than looking for another way to manage the blocks.

2) Is there a better way to hide the code in the template without deleting it (i.e. a different comment system).
