Documentation

File Doc/using/cmdline.rst mentions Options you shouldn’t use:

Options you shouldn't use
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

.. option:: -J

   Reserved for use by Jython_.

.. _Jython: https://www.jython.org/

Option -J was added in Python 2.6. Since all Jython related things are being removed, I'd suggest to remove reference to this option from the docs as well.

I support this idea.

Should we not deprecate it (similarly to this), it currently serves no purpose and 3.X is not supported by Jython? Jython3 seems to have halted (8 months of inactivity).
