I think the general idea is that -k was a mistake, but it's standardized, and that we don't want to have options -m, -g, -t, -p, -e, -z, -y for the other sizes (among other things -t is already taken). -m is there only for BSD compatibility but we don't want to publicize it and we may want to take it back at some point.

Wouldn't it then be consequent to remove the long option --megabyte? (It's sister --kilobyte has been removed by v6.9-151-g1e07a21 in 2007.)

Have a nice day, Berny
