doc/man-pages/README says:

Can I do those 2 things as a first effort to get
myself up and familiar with OpenAFS development,
git, gerrit, etc ?

Sure, absolutely.  Note that the second one is a proposed change to
the vos command itself, rather than the documentation; I don't know if
you meant tackling that in addition.

Yes, I intended both.

And such a change should keep delentry -noexecute around for
compatibility.

How about allowing both as you suggest, but also
marking the 'vos delentry' help as:

    -noexecute   (deprecated, same as -dryrun)
    -dryrun      show what would be done, but don't do it

And an opened ticket with milestone 1.7 to get rid
of -noexecute ?

This raises another issue.  Across the commands allowing
-dryrun, here are the explanations:

  -dryrun     report without updating

  -dryrun     no action

  -dryrun     only list what would be done, don't do it

I'd like to settle on:

  list what would be done, don't do it

May I make that change as well across the commands
where -dryrun is allowed?
