I tend to agree that we should include both, while they are clearly different I don't think it would be helpful in this case to distinguish. Looking at this thread I think it makes sense to go ahead with this patch. The filter functionality worked on in another thread is dealing with cherry-picking certain objects where this is an all-or-nothing switch, so I don't think they are at odds with each other. -- Daniel Gustafsson https://vmware.com/
