Are comment lines allowed in config files

Installing and Using OpenWrt

When I am editing config files with vi, I would like to leave comments.In my example below I would like to keep the old configuration. Is something like this possible?

config wifi-iface 'wifinet2'
	option device 'radio0'
	...
	#option ssid 'Main'
	option ssid 'MainSSID'
	#option bssid 'CC:...:CA'
	option bssid 'CB:...:YA'

Yes, but if you ever use uci code and uci commit it erases all comments in the config files.

Actually when doing new install the configs are full of usefull comments.

Read somwhere that you can avoid this with "list", but don't remember exactly how to do.

Not recommending this, necessarily, but I think this is what you were referring to:
