It is not clear that "-i" is a good alias for "--nointeractive"...

> It is not clear that "-i" is a good alias for "--nointeractive"... 

aliases are a single letter, so -n would be ambiguous with --noshutdown.

Often CAPS are used for single letter inverse options (-I), but in this case I 
don't think that there's any need for an alias.

Aliases are generally used to save interactive typing. The full long option 
name is preferred in scripts as it is self-documenting, rather than wondering 
what the -i or -ni option does. Long options can be abbreviated to their 
shortest unambiguous form, e.g. --noi and --nos.

So shall we just remove the -i alias for --nointeractive?

I'm fine with just having the long name.
