nologs option of 'keep' deprecated

Oracle Linux 5

Periodically developers ask me to make an archival backup of a database.  I accomplish this with a script I wrote that puts the database in MOUNT mode, then takes an rman offline backup with the KEEP UNTIL .. NOLOGS' option.  Today I was asked to extend the retention date on one of these backups, and as I was double-checking the syntax of the CHANGE command, I noticed there was no syntax for the 'NOLOGS' option.  Digging a bit further, I found that the logging options were deprecated.

So how does rman handle the various options that used to be specified by this?

Howdy, Stranger!
