I typically avoid modifying the behavior (and hence o/p) of existing commands; in my view a particular command (and options etc) and the resulting o/p format are part of the API "contract", hence simply modifying the -verbose option to emit this additional field, would break the existing "contract", which in the case of a programmatic parser client would most likely cause failures. IMO adding a new option preserves the existing contract while providing the additional metadata for new consumers aware of its availability and desirous of its content. ------------- PR Comment: https://git.openjdk.org/jdk/pull/29048#issuecomment-3712445113
