Right now, the default tabular output is behind a feature flag because it's
experimental. We still need to decide how to allow users to have that output by
default without the feature flag, but also without breaking 1.18 script
compatibility. The best option IMO for this case is an env variable on the
user's client machine since the change is a client only one and I don't want to
pollute the CLI with --v2 type cruft and introduce yet another thing to support
in the future.
