Also, the "-r" flag will be required for "update", "install", "uninstall", "change-facet", and "change-variant" subcommands as well.

Right now, it appears we have two votes for "just accept -r and don't worry about making it implicit."

Again, the two choices are:

a.) Accept "-r" as a requirement, and document to users that the behavior between 014-020 and 022-beyond will change.

b.) Make "-r" implicit, and make required changes to be less-surprising for existing 014-020 users.


Thanks,
Dan
