Review comment:
       It seems to me that the point we should discuss here is not the TVM 
target system. The discussion about whether target system should use 
hierarchical structure or not should be in a separate thread.
   
   Instead, what I always care is to let the commandline interface align to the 
core system behavior as possible to reduce 1) the possible future discrepancy 
and maintenance efforts. Specifically, do we need to change the target 
processing logic in TVMC frequently if there's something changed in the target 
system (e.g., new attribute, new target, etc)?
