  • Remove non-standard -l alias for -L which is not supported by OpenBSD or NetBSD versions
  • The usage string never documented -l so users were theoretically not aware of it
  • The code being deleted possibly had a bug where -I option would set $o{l} to 1 but only the value of $o{L} was being used in the main loop
