As the commit message (the bit you snipped) said.

I got sick and tired of having to do M-: (makunbound 'foo-map) before
loading files with changed keymaps. As a developer yourself, you should

They don't. You press a pertinent key combination and the key maps take
you to the matching command. Precisely how these keymaps are
constructed and loaded is of lesser importance.
