Not necessarily.  If you wanted to this this in multiple steps, we
can first whip the OPTIONS part into a good shape, and then fix the
DESCRIPTION part.

What we want to avoid (not limited to this topic) is to say "this
temporarily makes things worse here, but trust me it will eventually
become perfect".  Removing only -m/-c from the description section
makes the description section worse than before the patch---we'd be
better off leaving the original as-is if we are not revamping the
entire section.
