I hope this is only a temporary bodge. The new dev (alpha) version 
commands are NOT in the stable version and WILL keep on causing 
confusion if this is not resolved.

Well the commands are indeed IN the code and still supported and work, 
so there should be mention of them in the manual (as was done for the 
past X years now). Why not put them back in the manual and ONLY remove 
them in future when,

1. They are no longer supported at ALL in the current stable version
and
2. when the older versions are no longer compatible (e.g when from time 
to time we all have to update our older versions due to incompatible code)
