Indeed. In building the dataset for the knowledge base, we did pull from
several sources and Nessus versions - some old (obviously) and some new
(including the latest). The old information is in there to try and make
the dataset as robust as possible, although it is still far from perfect.
Nonetheless, George's point is excellent - the old entries should be
appropriately noted to indicate that the feature is depreciated.
I have made that change for these two. In the "Enable Considerations"
section, I have made a note specifically stating that the option is
depreciated, is no longer in the newest version of Nessus, and
recommending the user upgrade to the latest Nessus version. For example,
see:

Doh! Good catch - thanks. That has been fixed.
I also added 'peer' relationships for the four Nikto-related options. The
peers will automatically appear in the "Relationships" section at the
bottom of any of them. For example:
http://www.edgeos.com/nessuskb/details.php?option_id=134
