The term "in transition" is a quote from an unanswered post on
cf-report [1], it's probably a euphemism for "not working".

It is good that cf-report does indeed work, but since it doesn't seem
to be documented, I can't use it, simply because I cannot figure it
out on my own with only cf-report --help to assist me.

Here is what I think is true:
- cf_LastSeen.db on the policy server is updated every time a client
contacts the policy server, registering at least when the contact was
made.
- There is no need to use report promises to enable this,
cf_LastSeen.db is always updated.
- cf-report can be used to query cf_LastSeen.db to get access to this
information (again without report promises), so that I can get a list
of which clients have contacted the policyserver and when.
- The above is not documented anywhere I can access it.

Is this correct? If cf-report can be used as described, which
parameters do I give it to provide the report of client contacts?
