ADefine signal with no providing_args and send with user=user_obj, major_update=True

BDefine signal with providing_args=['user'] and send with user=user_obj, major_update=True

CDefine signal with providing_args=['user', 'major_update'] and send with user=user_obj, major_update=True

DDefine signal with providing_args=['user', 'major_update'] but send only user=user_obj
