I haven't really been bitten by such changes.  My main gripe with the
Slurm tools is the inconsistency of the interfaces, e.g. output columns:

  squeue -o " %.18i"
  sacct -o jobid%18

or selection according to nodes

  squeue -w node001
  sacct -N node001

This is obviously not a real problem, but it is a daily annoyance.  So
in that sense, I do think that changing the parameter semantics would be
a good idea, but only once and only if the options become harmonised
across all the tools!

Cheers,

Loris
