IIRC, some vi's have a line length limit.
I can't use awk to interactively edit the file.
Actually, ignore that. I failed to actually pay attention to the context
and thought this was about the UserList file, and not the output of bos
listusers. (I still think that it's more consistent to add newlines
rather than remove them).
So do I. I also see value in interactive commands not producing all of
their output on a single very long line. If this changes at all, it should
either produce one entry per line or make some effort to break at points
based on the terminal width.
FWIW, I also see value in not making gratuitous changes, either to code or
to interfaces. As with any proposed change, the burden here should be upon
those proposing the change to demonstrate why it is good or necessary, and
"I don't like how it looks now" is not really a sufficient reason.
This:
So anyone against deleting this "feature" better come with a good
argument which I can't smash with "you should use awk for that".
... is not an appropriate model for introducing changes, especially
backward-incompatible changes to interfaces.
