The text
isn't referring to any investigation already done. But me and Paul
Eggleton discussed this matter (removing entire ${S}, not just
{$S}/patches) within the scope of another bug. But since this wasn't
really the scope for that bug, the TODO was added instead. And happily
you have done the investigation and it's seems like ${S} might be able
to be removed in this case, after all :)

So please go ahead and you can
remove that TODO comment within the scope of this patch, since if this
change gets merged it's not relevant anymore..
