-carpdev was valid back when you did not have to specify the device. Until some time ago there was magic that chose the parent dev based on the ip on the carp - the idea was that it must be in the same net as the parent. This was removed (by mpi i think) to reduce complexety. So now you always have to specify the carpdev. I believe the option can go.
