hi again

so explain this to me. the switch "--reason". is it deprecated? reason i ask
is, running this command gives me the output with it included:
nmap -vv -n -T3 -Pn  192.168.0.1 -sS --reason


PORT     STATE SERVICE    REASON
80/tcp   open  http       syn-ack ttl 64
8080/tcp open  http-proxy syn-ack ttl 64
MAC Address: 50:39:55:44:F5:AE (Cisco Spvtg)


here is is OMITTED: 
nmap -vv -n -T3 -Pn  192.168.0.1 -sS 

PORT     STATE SERVICE    REASON
80/tcp   open  http       syn-ack ttl 64
8080/tcp open  http-proxy syn-ack ttl 64
MAC Address: 50:39:55:44:F5:AE (Cisco Spvtg)

so what is it's purpose? seems it is now a default? just trying to get it
cleared up is all

-vv or -d automatically turns on --reason.
