code review ACK 2dfeb6668cb2e98e3dccf946af084e8a08e1fab5

I verified that this arg was used only by the legacy wallet. At 2dfeb6668cb2e98e3dccf946af084e8a08e1fab5 (from the PR that added sqlite), this arg was used in the following function from `BerkeleyDatabase` (which obviously doesn't exist anymore):
```cpp
bool BerkeleyDatabase::Rewrite(const char* pszSkip)
{
while (true) {
{
LOCK(cs_db);
if (m_refcount <= 0) {

Concept ACK. I think the comment about updating the fee logic should be removed, as it can easily become stale.

Explicitly stating we update fee logic is unnecessary, just state that we fire the `MempoolTransactionsRemovedForBlock` notification or something like that.
```suggestion
// Remove confirmed txs and conflicts when a new block is connected, and notify validation interface listeners
```

Yes, I'm aware, but I have listed here every value that is read or written to - seems safer this way.

Thanks for the review.
I'm not a big fan of dead comments, especially when they're duplicating information that the code can tell better.
The name already states that it removes from mempool.
And it's called from ConnectTip in validation.cpp.
I have instead added a comment inside the method without repeating the exact same - please see the commit message.

The code already states clearly that MempoolTransactionsRemovedForBlock is called.

Fair enough, It should be removed then because of the reason here https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/32827#pullrequestreview-3030963395 I've come across multiple places where such comments get stale and not updated.

This is a valid point, might be better for such removals to be in it's own commit with this explanation as rationale.

Since the method is about mempool removal, I found it surprising that it is needed for fee estimation - hence the comment

You did not change it :(. It is commented out so it's not a deal breaker here.

They'd still see the error message about the `-reindex`, before the crash. It seems easy to dismiss a crash as hardware fault and not software fault after you've seen a corruption warning.

Yeah, I realize it is useful to debug timeouts. Pushed a fresh commit for `KeyboardInterrupt`.

I don't think the goal is to _demonstrate_ mining, it's to increase (functional) test coverage.

It seems fine to mine on mainnet for a fraction of a second.
