Please document it in the help text. That's what this bug is about.

I do not propose to change -i to three different options.
Your comment assumes that I do. How did you arrive at the conclusion that I want -i option renamed?
The description of this bug is "rpm --help and manpage are not as helpful as they could be". Which means that I ask for "rpm --help" text to be made clearer.
One of the needed improvements is to explain what -i means in what context.
