The options are still accepted.  They just don't produce the
same output they did with a non-upstream patch.

Changed output across a major release isn't all that
unreasonable -- even if it may be annoying to anyone who has
come to rely on that output. :)

Those options were marked as non-portable for many years
(since 2015, according to the BZ referenced in the git
commit which dropped the patch).  Using them on non-Fedora
systems would already be likely to produce different
results.

Considering there is an option which provides the same
output that has worked for many years:

    s/uname -p/uname -m/

shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Whether they should be removed entirely from the code and
docs is likely something to discuss with the upstream
coreutils project.
