Yes, we could. But if we keep the changes "small", there is no need to
duplicate the same functionality. So maybe our "new form function" will
also be able to handle the "old code", so no need for a switch even. The
less stuff is handled with such a switch, the less ugly code we have in
core. So I am not agains using such a switch, but I don't feel well if
we have two complete distinct functions to handle FORM cObject ("new
way" vs "old way").

Cheers,
