I'm not sure if I understand your question.

My point is:

This comment existed back when the code was using PYTHONDIR. The comment
is saying it *should* use PYTHONARCHDIR, but does not, because of CentOS.

The code was then changed to use PYTHONARCHDIR, so now the comment is
mismatched. The code uses PYTHONARCHDIR, and the comment still says it
should but does not use PYTHONARCHDIR.

I would delete the piece of the comment that I quoted.

If you're asking whether the PYTHONDIR -> PYTHONARCHDIR change breaks
CentOS, I have no idea, but that is immaterial. That code change was
made, so the comment should be updated to match the current reality of
the code.
