commenting out DE worker lines from otto crontab, since they're now running on hgcompute-08, not hgwdev. But leaving them in this crontab file so that the lines can be recovered in case the hgcompute-08 cron is ever lost, refs #24912

+# hgcompute-08, not here. The compute host reads exprMatrix.bin from a /hive
+# cache it fetches over HTTP (deCache.py), so it no longer needs the web host's
+# local docroot, and DE compute is off hgwdev. These two lines are left commented
+# for history; the live copy is in otto's crontab on hgcompute-08.
