internal buffering method which never worked. It is recommended to use
only the GEOS buffering method, but it does not support these options to
create oblong buffers. To avoid confusion, the options "minordistance" and
"angle" should be removed.

Not before G8, it would break compatibility. In G7, if these options are
set, a warning could be issued that these options are ignored with the
recommended GEOS buffering method. Currently, these options are silently
ignored.
