I believe they only mean this section of that function:
...
if (processor != nullptr && parameterIndex >= 0)

// this code will be removed.
for (int i = processor->listeners.size(); --i >= 0;)
if (auto* l = processor->listeners[i])
l->audioProcessorParameterChangeGestureBegin (processor, getParameterIndex());
}

only, which is related to:
