These obscure switches are backed up by obsolete crypto that wont be, cannot be, present in v6 packages. It would be possible to keep them alive by making them point to non-obsolete data, but for that there would need to be a use-case and users. These have neither as far as I've learned in the last ~20 years. Fixes: rpm-software-management#2633
Nothing and nobody should be using these for anything at all. We'd rather remove these indexes entirely but doing so while keeping compatibility with existing databases and so on is far more trouble than letting these die of old age is. V6 packages will not have such tags so in time these indexes will be all empty and then we can just axe them without having to work out transitional details. Related: rpm-software-management#2633
