This is going to be confusing. Up to now, Lojban texts have been using the
"old lo", now they are going to use "old lo" or "new lo" depending on
whether or not people accept or not the changes maybe due to stubborness, or
because they are unaware of the change. For beginners like me, this is very
confusing by the time of translating Lojban texts.
