Some options with single-letter shortcuts are not expected to be used often enough that it's worth reserving a scarce single-letter shortcut for them, and we should remove those shortcuts. Others with upper-case shortcuts are expected to be used often enough that it's worth providing them with an easiest-to-use lower-case shortcut. And one option's name should be simpler and clearer. Shortcuts to remove: -p for --pkgdir -k for --extra-packages -t for --templatedir -r for --use-server (make sure to update "cfx develop" help text accordingly) -u for --update-url -l for --update-link -d for --dep-tests -x for --times Shortcuts to change: -P to -p for --profiledir -F to -f for --filter Options to rename: --dep-tests to --dependencies

Changing --filter's shorthand from -F to -F required removing --logfile's -f shorthand.
