I find it important, specially for security focused projects, to be as easy to review and understand as possible. I think using long command line options helps with this as they better document the code without the need to look them all up. There is a tread-off here. Some short command line options are very common and using the long variants instead might just feel wired. So we still expect good knowledge of your GNU/Linux environment.
