I agree it's fine (the if statement is never true).

I say it is never true because a single dimension with the ```dim_coord=True``` keyword set is passed to ```cube.coords``` and after reading the docs, this would appear to be impossible (I may have false hope in the docs though).

As I said, if you don't do this - it doesn't matter (nothing is broken). But I do think that, given we have now both looked at these two lines in some detail, now is as good a time as any to remove it.
