It removes the FileType autocommands for filetype "text" in autocommand
group "vimrcEx". The vimrc_example.vim includes the following (I'm
adding line numbers according to the latest version as of this writing):

66: augroup vimrcEx
...
69: " For all text files set 'textwidth' to 78 characters.
70: autocmd FileType text setlocal textwidth=78
...
82: augroup END

The other autocommand defined in that group is not for the same event.

See:
:help :augroup
:help autocmd-define
:help autocmd-remove

Best regards,
Tony.
