> Does anybody remember what Bro's option -z is for?

Well it's there in CHANGES, per the appended.  But yeah looks like it never
went anywhere beyond the original instigation, so I think removing it is okay.
OTOH, it's a pretty handy general notion, so instead pushing it further
strikes me as also reasonable.

- Bro now has a geneal mechanism internal for traversing policy scripts
  (Umesh Shankar).  Various script analyses can be specified using the
  new -z flag.

  Currently, the one supported form of analysis is "-z notice", which
  prints all of the different types of notices that the script you've
  loaded can generate.  For example, "bro -z notice ftp" will generate:

          Found NOTICE: BackscatterSeen
          Found NOTICE: FTP_PrivPort
          Found NOTICE: FTP_BadPort
          Found NOTICE: PortScan
          Found NOTICE: FTP_ExcessiveFilename
          Found NOTICE: ScanSummary
          Found NOTICE: AddressDropped
          Found NOTICE: DroppedPackets
          Found NOTICE: SensitiveConnection
          Found NOTICE: FTP_UnexpectedConn
          Found NOTICE: SSH_Overflow
          Found NOTICE: FTP_Sensitive
          Found NOTICE: TerminatingConnection
          Found NOTICE: PasswordGuessing
          Found NOTICE: AddressDropIgnored
          Found NOTICE: AddressScan
