First, note the use of "obsolete" -- there are better ways to achieve
what you want -- as opposed to "deprecated" -- the use is recommended
against (for some reason to be specified). If we make a plan to remove
the -o option sometime, we should use the latter and announce our
intentions. That needs to be discussed, though.

The above documentation is only in the development branch, so deriving a
justification for removing that option from that is premature anyway.
