Alexander Rukletsov commented on MESOS-5271:
--------------------------------------------
It looks like we've accidentally introduced slicing in flags code (MESOS-3335)
when we refactored {{Option<>}} class (MESOS-1991). [~bbannier] plans to
investigate it and fix it when we both have some spare cycles. I would like us
to refrain from introducing new features to a subsystem where we have known
open critical bugs.
> Add alias support for Flags

>
> Currently there is no support for a flag to have an alias. Such support would
> be useful to rename/deprecate a flag.
> For example, for MESOS-4386, we could let the flag have `--authenticate` name
> and a `--authenticate_frameworks` alias. The alias can be marked as
> deprecated (need to add support for this as well).
> This support will also be useful for slave/agent flag rename. See MESOS-3781
> for details.
