Huh? Who's talking 'custom'? I certainly wasn't.

Originally it was ...

  "standard"  ==> phobos
  "full"      ==> tango

now its changed to ...

  "phobos"    ==> phobos
  "tango"     ==> tango

And while the names are now exactly what it does, it doesn't help people
who do not know that 'phobos' is the standard and 'tango' is not the
standard. I would have suggested ...

  "standard"    ==> phobos
  "alternative" ==> tango
