Comment (by bobbingwide):

 So where do we stand on this?
 As I said previously. I don't support adding hack_file into the
 $unusedoptions array since it could break someone else's code.

 hack_file=0 my-hacks=N -> OK

 hack_file=0 my-hacks=Y -> dormant file as far as core is concerned, but
 could be loaded some other way
 Deleting the file could break someone's code.

 hack_file=other my-hacks=N -> Deleting the option could break someone's
 code.

 hack_file=other my-hacks=Y -> How long have they been ignoring the
 deprecated message?
 Deleting the code could break someone's code... but that was the whole
 point of the deprecated file message.
