If that is what coders are doing, it sounds pretty complicated.

Multiple #ifdef blocks of code that do the same thing, and combinations of code to build and test, and hope that it still all works when shipped. It could become #ifdef hell.

Sounds like it's not really worth the effort and simply just stick to the old style.
