When looking at disallowing SSL compression I found the parameter "authtype" which was deprecated in commit d5bbe2aca55bc8 on January 26 1998. While I do think there is a case to be made for the backwards compatibility having run its course on this one, shouldn't we at least remove the environment variable and default compiled fallback for it to save us a getenv call when filling in the option defaults?
The argument of avoiding unnecessary getenv() calls is sensible. PGTTY should get the same treatment.
But I tend to think we should remove them both altogether (modulo ABI and API preservation).
