Why does Passenger / mod_rails documentation allow me to explicitly disable MultiView?

Question

From the documentation :

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName www.mycook.com
    DocumentRoot /webapps/mycook/public
    <Directory /webapps/mycook/public>
        Allow from all
        Options -MultiViews
    </Directory>
</VirtualHost>

So why the next line?

Options -MultiViews

I understand roughly how MultiViews works , and frankly, I don’t understand why someone used it. However, I do not understand why the Passenger configuration guide considers it so important to explicitly disable the setting in the site configuration.

Can anyone shed light on the situation?
