In https://www.freepascal.org/future.html it shows Maintenance tasks
still open -- Rework, reorganize, re-sort the FPC compiler parameter
handling and use long options

Is that still outstanding?

Is there any discussion as to what the long options would be for each
existing option? (or is that part of this task to propose those
options and get that discussion going?)

I'm not sure that is still desirable,  that is quite old, I think
between 2.0 and 2.2. Usage has grown so much, that breakage hurts a
lot more than then.

At least the re-sorting of the options was updated in main.

That's my opinion as well. I think that list should be updated (after
all the m68k target is alive again as well  ).
