-This option is required to parse IPv6 rules and to have them loaded.
+This option was required in previous releases of IP FIlter to parse IPv6
+rules and to have them loaded. As of IP FIlter 5.0.0 all rules are stored
+in a single table loaded from a single file. This option is a noop. It
+will produce the message "IPv6 rules are no longer seperate." It is
