The issue here is with how the outputs are intended to be used, what
users will expect from them, and what you can provide.
Looking at the changes (a diff-marked man page would have been helpful
here!), I believe this case adds the following flags:
-f
-g
-p
-r
-s
-v
-n max
-u uid
It seems to _remove_ the -i flag, which was previously Evolving. That
removal (if it's correct) needs an explicit EOF, which I don't see in
this case.
As for the output formats, there seem to be just three of them --
'faulty', 'faulty -f', and 'faulty -r'. Of those, I can believe that
the first two are "Not-An-Interface," as the output appears to contain
a lot of ordinary English text that would be foolish for anyone to
parse.
'faulty -r' seems different. It looks like a simple field-oriented
output that could be parsed, and should probably be at least
Uncommitted.
The other new output formats don't seem to be documented at all. I
can find no documentation for the -s or -v flag. My guess would be
Uncommitted and Not-An-Interface, respectively, but I'm not sure.
CR 6484879 also doesn't seem to have substantive information about
what the project team is attempting to do.
I'd like to see an update that explains what happened to the "-i"
option I see in the current man page, and provides some details (at
least a stability level) for the new output variations.
