Hmm, that's new since I last **needed** to look in the man page for it - don't tell me you look at man pages for stuff you already know how to do, each time you do it ?

Checking my next oldest system (Debian Wheezy), I see that it includes CIDR format. Guess it's a while since I last needed to check the man page for that !


Perhaps it's time for the relevant package to spit out some notice level logging when it hits deprecated options ?
