Description:
The manual says the following about --log-short-format:

"Log less information to the binary log and slow query log, if they have been activated."

If I read the source code correctly, it does not affect the binary log in any way. It only applies to the slow query log, since the corresponding flag is only checked in MYSQL_QUERY_LOG::write() in 5.5/5.6 and File_query_log::write_slow() in 5.7.

How to repeat:
Check the source code related to opt_short_log_format.

I guess the option should also be removed from this page: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/replication-options-binary-log.html
