I just made a comment at CR. Removing these options could confuse bot owners or break bot maintenance. You should either implement an option alias or raise a nonimplemented error to prevent it's use without -simulate but with the old one. And print a hint that the old option is deprecated (if you prefer the alias) or removed (if you raise the exception)
