Christopher,

Thanks for your comments.

I add old flag '-m' to avoid breaking backwards compatibility.

Best Regards

Not breaking existing installations & setups.

It's good practice to mark options scheduled for removal as deprecated
in documentation first, then provide warnings about impending removal
when they are used, and only after that's been in place for a release or
two commit the change to remove them.

All the best,
Chris
