I suspect we should leave -m in but document that it might do nothing.

You need -s to print large files on many setups, and tools do use it knowing that its a good polite way to do printing. Granted lprng etc dont care but they ignore it so its ok. CUPS I suspect is about to become considerably less relevant for the short term. Nevertheless the options it drops are the bizarre ones like troff support and I see no reason to disagree with the proposal to not document stuff that the others have but it lacks.
