This is the desired state: documented in texinfo only (not in --help
or man page), because the option
is on its way to being deleted.
I installed the attached to remove the documentation from the man page.
I think this was all that was remaining from the bug report, so I am
closing the bug report.From e24ab83682f2124b7c8fa59ab05b250e1f4dae94 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] doc: omit -y from grep man page
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The obsolete -y option has been omitted from --help for a while, and
now’s a good time to omit it from the man page too.
