Reusing an old (envstat(8)) command line option
Back in NetBSD 5.x, envstat(8) had a -W option that was used to select
between Critical and Warning alarm limits. That option was deprecated
shortly after 5.0 shipped, and the option remains (but is ignored).
I am now considering enhancing sysmon sensors to be able to retain high-
and low-water mark sensor values, and -W would be mnemonically suitable
for selecting this display. But is it acceptable to "re-task" the
deprecated option? Or should I pick something else?
