I guess it will be removed in the future. Peter is correct. It was my intention to slowly phase it out, but now that I think about it, if I completely remove the -R option, getopt(3) will tell the user that it's an illegal option and display the usage. I think this is enough to motivate a user to read the man page, so I'm going to completely remove the -R option before committing.
