I was thinking 'quick', but I can see your point too.

rpki-client currently is using 'only' 18 out of the 66 ([a-zA-Z0-9).
I am not very concerned in that regard. :-)
Garbage collection options:
'-r' can be removed, its been the default for a while now anyway
'-T' can maybe be merged into -B using getopt('B:'). I doubt many
(if any) people use '-T'.
If you don't like '-q', which of the following do you like better?
a A C D E F g G h H i I J k K l L m M N O p P Q u U w W x X y Y z Z
Kind regards,
