It is less precise than “per”, and may still look ungrammatical to some 
speakers, like rms, who notably dislike it, and that’s why “per” is now 
used (and wasn’t before).  Afaik this usage of “per” there is more recent 
than wide acceptance of “singular they” (at least it was already teached 
in french schools more than 10 years ago, and rms nor then GNU didn’t 
promote “per” at that time).
