Hi,

I noticed this about a week ago:

head: `-1' option is obsolete; use `-n 1'
Try `head --help' for more information.

and tail seems to do the same thing...
this is very annoying since it breaks a lot of scripts, including configure 
scripts to build packages...

why is this obsoleted? 

And the most irritating part is that is not phased out, like giving a warning 
and then continue, but it only gives an error and stops.
