I'd call that a bug.
Which is why I'm fixing it, separate from the deprecation.
In the light of PATCH 2, I propose to put that one first (with the
help_string_append() hunk dropped), then remove the aliases from CLI

Going one step back without thinking in solutions immediately, what
you're suggesting is that deprecated options should become undocumented
