warns when people use it, but it'll be removed in release 1.4.6.

-4. Rename --noskipbad option, kill --omitbad, change default BB method for nanddump
-
-Our bad block handling methods are getting disorganized. They will be replaced
-by a series of --bb=METHOD options (see `nanddump --help').
-
-In addition, the previous default bad block behavior was to dump 0xFF in place
-of bad blocks. This was not a good "inverse operation" of nandwrite. Thus, the
-current default behavior has become the (new) option --bb=padbad, and in 1.4.6,
-the default will be --bb=skipbad.
-
-The new `--bb=METHOD' options are included in this release, but all feature
-removals and changed defaults will occur in 1.4.6. For now, there are
-appropriate deprecation warning messages and an alert telling about the
-soon-to-be-default settings.

-Transition summary table:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Old option New option Comment
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- <default> --bb=padbad dump flash data, substituting 0xFF for any bad blocks
- --noskipbad --bb=dumpbad dump flash data, including any bad blocks
- --skipbad --bb=skipbad, <default> dump good data, completely skipping any bad blocks (new default)
- --omitbad N/A very similar to `skipbad', will be removed soon

-5. nanddump will not dump OOB by default
-
-In 1.4.6, nanddump will not dump OOB by default. To dump OOB, you will have to
-explicitly use the option `--oob'. For now, there is simply a warning every
-time you use nanddump without explicitly choosing `--oob' or `--omitoob'.
-
-Note that `-o' will no longer stand for `--omitoob'. To unify with nandwrite,
-it will stand for `--oob' (Dump OOB data).
