How important is consistency in options for Python command line utilities?

I'm thinking particularly of consistent syntax for options that are supported in more than one utility. We use some options quite consistently, e.g. --durable always means the same thing.

Broker addresses are specified in various ways:

-a
--broker-addr
--broker-address
a positional argument

Timeout can usually be specified as "-t" or "--timeout", but in qpid-route, "-t" means "transport".

Should we care about this?
