The --both and --pos start the POS component. --testlist creates an ant file that iterates over test suites and run them one-by-one. Nothing in the code base is using it. There was only one deprecated task in ant that used to run it called run-test-list, and we removed ant anyway.
If you are unfamiliar with certain items I suggest not to block such initiatives to cleanup the code base.
