I think there were two (and a half) reasons why we didn't let "--delete" use a short-and-sweet "-d", and I agree that "something else that is more useful did not come" removes one of them. The other reason was to avoid the chance of fat-fingering, because deleting is destructive, and it is even harder to recover from if the damage is done remotely (and the remaining one-half is that deleting is a rare event). Even though I do not think the need for the "safety" has been reduced over time to warrant this change, a similarity with "branch" that has "-d/--delete" would be a good enough argument to support this change.
