Looks good. I agree with Jim that I don't see a need for ARC involvement
here; AFAIK the ARC has never been involved in mdb dcmds, and the mdb
usage of `evolving' is more in-line with the original definition of
"we won't gratuitously break things". The only breakage I see here is
that "-b" is gone (but that option hasn't worked for me in a long time)
and the output is no longer ordered in pipelines (edge case).
