The old way was to tell contributors about various choices of which
form to use, and ask each contributor to figure out which one
was right for per case,  That led to confusion a substantial
fraction of the time.

The new way is to ask them for the crucial information
and have FSF staff tell each contributor which options apply
to per own case.  This avoids the confusion.
