I fully agree.  Do you mean to document it or to remove the function and
change the options to print a warning message that they don't do
anything?  For 2.1.

What about --compress-keys and --compress-sigs?  These are GnuPG only
features which predate OpenPGP and have been introduced only to allow
that old accidental behaviour of GnuPG.
