Deprecations

[Matthew Lindner]

Shouldn't the deprecation notice that's printed also print the version it was deprecated in?

Unless I’ve missed something, the documentation should specify the alternatives.  Mostly these are one to one, but in one case it is one to two (and there both are listed).
With the caveat that I might not have got every place or detail correct.

Moreover, the deprecated commands print something to the effect of: "The command dsa is deprecated. Use ‘pkey’ instead." when executed.

Any suggestions for a consensus on this thread?

I think we can probably agree that:

- Command option deprecations should be handled better
- We should look at whether we can resurrect some of the "old" commands
(possibly by writing them as wrappers for genpkey, pkey and pkeyutl)

What about at least pointing to the alternative function in the
documentation?
