What about documenting the deprecated options and their replacements in monotone.texi? Just showing them again won't help the user much and it would just introduce new "meta" code we don't want to care about much. > Similarly, we should have deprecated commands (not in this branch).

I second the request to introduce that and it might become even more needed when we hit 1.0, so we still provide backwards compatiblity. I wouldn't go so far to deprecate privkey, pubkey and read though - these are still used to backup / export / import keys or how do you want to handle these otherwise? One might deprecate the reader functionality packets other than keys though.
