I don't like adding things that serve no purpose and only confuse users.
People end up running around with their hair on fire asking which type
they should use, and if it just doesn't bloody matter, why confuse them
and make the manual longer by giving them the choice? Keep it simple.
To put it another way, seeing the option there makes people think they
need to use it for some reason, after all, why else would it be there?
And if that isn't true, then you have just created FUD.
