Online where? In 'qemu-img --help', or on some web page (at what URL)?

If anything, that says we need to fix whatever "documented on-line"
source was documenting something that we want to be obsolete; and maybe
tweak qemu-img to be verbose about warning on the use of deprecated
options. But this patch would go in the wrong direction of reviving
intentionally undocumented code.
