As long as the flags don't conflict, it would probably be

would work just fine
save perhaps for a bit of confusion at first if both sets of
flags are available
and in the docs and --help. So, if we want to make the change,
I think that
it's obvious enough how to go about. It's more a question of
whether we want
to do it.
I think two binaries is cleaner, less prone to confusion and
allows less cluttered help info.
