The '-e' and '-6' options to the 'create' & 'convert' commands were "deprecated" in favour of the more generic '-o' option many years ago:
commit eec77d9e712bd4157a4e1c0b5a9249d168add738 Author: Jes Sorensen <jes.soren...@redhat.com> Date: Tue Dec 7 17:44:34 2010 +0100 qemu-img: Deprecate obsolete -6 and -e options Except this was never actually a deprecation, which would imply giving the user a warning while the functionality continues to work for a number of releases before eventual removal. Instead the options were immediately turned into an error + exit. Given that the functionality is already broken, there's no point in keeping these psuedo-deprecation messages around any longer.
