From the documentation itself:
:[range]o[pen] Works like |:visual|: end Ex mode.
{Vi: start editing in open mode}
...
Vim does not support open mode, since it's not really useful. For
those situations where ":open" would start open mode Vim will leave Ex
mode, which allows executing the same commands, but updates the whole
screen instead of only one line.
Part of the reason behind this is to make removing vi_diff.txt easier,
although it's also because :open is not too useful.

There's no way this isn't some long-running joke:
"Just as ':print'. Was apparently added to Vi for
people that keep the shift key pressed too long..."
Note: A user command can overrule this command.
Regarding ':X': the command has been removed for a while, but the
documentation must have been missed, so remove it here.

The "*" flag in 'cpoptions' makes the command :* execute the contents of
a register. Removed because
1. the same functionality exists as :@
2. it hides :* as a useful command-line shortcut for :'<,'>
3. unlike :@ it cannot be used with the * register

Regarding |script-here|: despite being a language agnostic piece of
advice, it was in `if_perl.txt`. Regardless, we now only have one
support for one legacy plugin interface, so put it in `if_pyth.txt`
Closes https://github.com/neovim/docs/pull/26
Also added stubs for 'cryptmethod' and 'key', and placeholders for
explanation regarding removal of crypto functionality.
