Re: [j-nsp] certain commands executed on CLI provide additional information over corresponding RPCs

Hey Martin, I get what you're saying, but I think the problem is backwards. CLI is opinionated, CLI mangles the backend data. So you should rather complain why CLI isn't used the right words. I understand what you're saying, but I don't agree it makes sense. It would add work, as you still

Hey Phil, I'm hijacking this for a bit. You have | display json and xml, I assume json was relatively modest amount of work, as you have formal source of data, so someone only needed to write translator, without being aware of all context to support | display json, which also means, no one needs
