Sorry, but this is absolutely wrong, as the existing option works just fine. I
do not mind if you add other options, but the existing one cannot be removed,
as it is in active use in production, and it will remain in active use in
production for the foreseeable future - I have no intention nor plan of
stopping its use, even if there are alternatives. It works just fine either
directly with some escaping, or indirectly via a spec file. Again, no problem
with adding alternative options if you want to have them, absolutely fine to do
so, but just not at the expense of the current one.
