[Bug 1594971] [NEW] Inconsistent usage of options in similar applications

[Sworddragon]

Public bug reported:

I'm using Ubuntu 16.10 dev with coreutils 8.25-2ubuntu2 and I'm noticing
that df and du are using the same options for the same actions but df
documents "-i, --inodes" while du documents only "--inodes" while no
other option uses already -i. Maybe this option can be made consistent
in this case (I would not be wondered if there are more such issues
especially in other similar applications).
