I'm a newbie here, so I can't have a strong opinion on what's the best solution for managing those files. But, given that:

1. `ort` will sometime replace `recursive`
2. the last change in the content of this document was in
    f5a3c5e637, three years ago, basically copying the content
    from `recursive` to `ort`

it looks like to me that creating another file only for this paragraph would harder to maintain than that duplication.

I mean, if eventually `recursive` is replaced by `ort`, one will need to remember to move this paragraph to `merge-strategies`, as it will be used only in the `ort` documentation. On the other hand, given that this document haven't changed since the introduction of `ort`, this duplication doesn't seem to me that will be hard to be managed.

Anyway, thanks for the feedback!
