That's a bit harsh. Even if Vi option "novice" is not supported by
Vim, Vim's documentation explicitly says that no error should be
given when trying to set it. Yet ":set novice" actually gives an error:
E518: Unknown option: novice.
So it's a legitimate bug in my opinion (even if it's a low priority one).
See ":help missing-options":
--- 8< --- cut here --- 8< --- cut here --- 8< ---
2. Missing options
*missing-options*
These options are in the Unix Vi, but not in Vim. If you try to set one of
them you won't get an error message, but the value is not used and
cannot be printed.
autoprint (ap) boolean (default on) *'autoprint'* *'ap'*
beautify (bf) boolean (default off) *'beautify'* *'bf'*
flash (fl) boolean (default ??) *'flash'* *'fl'*
graphic (gr) boolean (default off) *'graphic'* *'gr'*
hardtabs (ht) number (default 8) *'hardtabs'* *'ht'*
number of spaces that a <Tab> moves on the display
mesg boolean (default on) *'mesg'*
novice boolean (default off) *'novice'*
open boolean (default on) *'open'*
optimize (op) boolean (default off) *'optimize'* *'op'*
redraw boolean (default off) *'redraw'*
slowopen (slow) boolean (default off) *'slowopen'* *'slow'*
sourceany boolean (default off) *'sourceany'*
w300 number (default 23) *'w300'*
w1200 number (default 23) *'w1200'*
w9600 number (default 23) *'w9600'*
