Oh, no OPT_BOOLEAN was deprecated because too many people rightfully thought it was about 0/1 choice and got burned by its count-up behaviour. When you want to count-up, OPT_COUNTUP is the right thing to do and replacing deprecated BOOLEAN with it is a correct thing to do. But for this optoin, I do not think you want to count up in the first place. You want a 0/1 choice, which is written as OPT_BOOL these days.
