This comment got me confused about the status of BIP66 (Thanks jnewbery for explaining)
The comment was added in: #3843
But in #5713 strict DER encoding was enforced in consensus,
and is now it's buried and enforced by the height of the block here:
bitcoin/src/validation.cpp
Line 1889 in 4af01b3
P.S. This is also quite confusing:
bitcoin/src/validation.cpp
Lines 1560 to 1563 in 4af01b3
bitcoin/src/validation.cpp
Lines 1510 to 1511 in 4af01b3
