What are the purposes of different UV Sets for Genesis 9?

I noticed there are 5 UV Sets for Genesis 9.  They are:
- Base Multi UDIM OLD
- Base Multi UDIM
- Base Single UDIM OLD
- Base Single UDIM
- Genital Map Bake
The default is Base Multi UDIM.  What are the purposes of the other UV Sets?  How to use them?

    Single UDIMs consolidate all the skins onto a single map, which makes it simpler to work with some painting tools - one of the Genesis 9 utilities will split such combined maps into the standard maps.

    There was a change, fairly late, to the UV layout so both are still there to allow PAs to conveniently swtich their maps to the new mapping.

    I'm not sure about the last, but I would imagine it is used in ensuring that the genitals merge cleanly with the base textures.

    In practice the default Multi UDIM will be the one you need.
