It was undeprecated in Oct 2011 with commit 2f1384b:
date: reinstate the --iso-8601 (-I) option
We deprecated and undocumented the --iso-8601 (-I) option mostly
because date could not parse that particular format. Now that
it can, it's time to restore the documentation.
* src/date.c (usage): Document it.
* doc/coreutils.texi (Options for date): Reinstate documentation.
