They settings are `@Deprecated` not removed - for example:
https://github.com/apache/tinkerpop/pull/912/files#diff-45b18530a9a147f84ad0ee9ddab81fa1R681
once we deprecate something though, we are free to remove those
configurations from documentation (which is what you see removed from asciidoc)
and from default files that are packaged so that we don't promote them anymore.
we've done that in the past on a number of occasions and i think that approach
fits here too. is that ok?
