Description

Previously, these commands had short forms, such as -l and -t. Those were very convinient.

Sorry for my rant, but I am just wondering who is the ingenious engineer who removed those options? These are two of the most frequently used commands, and for some mysterious reason, they have been removed.

Well, actually, I am more curious about the rationale and common sense behind that decision. I would understand if those shortcuts were used for something else, but just removing them because of why?
