All you do by removing the '!' is to reverse the effect of the 'domains'
test - so instead of scanning for domains that are not in the
/etc/userdomains file, it scans for domains that are in that file. And if
you remove the line altogether, it will remove the test.

Can't see how this would be particularly bad if that's what you want to
happen - but I'm far from a cpanel expert. Maybe someone else here is - or
you could ask in a cpanel forum - it doesn't get talked about much here.
