Comment (by Jann Haber):
From my point of view, B) would still be backwards-incompatible, since
some management commands' help messages will then behave differently. In
my example, the option --version would then print the nose version, where
it previously used to print the django version. However, it would
certainly impact less projects than option A).
Option C), to keep the behaviour the way it was before and only changing
the order of the arguments in the help message (which is what Claude was
trying to achieve in the PR), seems to have the least impact on the
existing commands while still achieving the goal of this ticket.
In any case, at least if option A) or B) are selected, this change should
be documented in the release notes.
