it could be emphasised more. but we have a lot of pages using a fairly standard format (describe what option does, but note it is deprecated). we could talk about moving all pages to that format, but that's really another discussion. to be honest, i don;t see any immediate value to warrant such a change - i think it's enough to say we discourage its use. as to deprecate->depreciate. well, "depreciate" is not really correct. it's an oft-abused term, but it really just means that something has lost value. i guess we could argue that's a better description than "deprecate", but that again is another argument. in summary, i don;t see this going in. jmc > Index: su.1 > =================================================================== > RCS file: /cvs/src/usr.bin/su/su.1,v > retrieving revision 1.24 > diff -u -p -r1.24 su.1 > --- su.1 31 May 2007 19:20:17 -0000 1.24 > +++ su.1 8 Mar 2010 20:02:22 -0000 > @@ -100,9 +100,9 @@ file (see > The options are as follows: > .Bl -tag -width Ds > .It Fl > -Same as the > +(depreciated) Use the > .Fl l > -option (deprecated). > +option instead. > .It Fl a Ar auth-type > Specify an authentication type such as > .Dq skey ,
