Oh, yeah. I hate that too. Would you want them as 4 separate entities or to
just rename the
labels to 'devid' and 'subdevid'?
If we're going to change it, might as well break it down into 4 fields. Maybe
we retain the old
format under a legacy switch and/or env variable for users that have tools that
parse the output
(cough yahoo cough).
Hi, Scott
i think for keeping POLA it is better add new option to make new output format.
This is a too strict interpretation of POLA! If the change is done for
better compliance with standards and it is done in a major version (i.e.
9.0 or 10.0), it's not a matter of POLA (otherwise, the change will
never happen).
