Why are some command-line arguments deprecated?

support
#1

I’m using Hugo v0.40.3 and when I run hugo --help these command-line arguments are listed as deprecated:

  --canonifyURLs 
  --pluralizeListTitles 
  --preserveTaxonomyNames 
  --uglyURLs

What does this mean? Does it mean I should not set these on the command line or that I should not set them in config.toml or both? If it means these variables should not be used at all, please remove them from the All Configuration Settings section of https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/ and put them in a Deprecated Configuration Settings section with an explanation about why each is deprecated.

Thanks!
