Nope, defaults are filled in by the client. (And also on the server if
they're still missing; it's part of the common validation.)
IMHO this is quite unfortunate behavior which may also fail horribly if
there is a newer client and an older server -> backwards compatibility
is on API level, not CLI level. Defaults should be filled by server, not
a client. We should seriously reconsider the design of our CLI. But
that's for different, future discussion.
You can't use a newer client with an older server, you get a
VersionError in that case.
And that's bad because, IMHO, this case may be more common that a newer
server and an older client, e.g., RHEL 6.5 server and Fedora 21 client.
Feel free to file a ticket. But yes, redesigning the API is not exactly
a priority.
That's said and given the circumstances, it is easier and cleaner to
return the --qrcode back as no_param now than to deal with potential
future issues.
What's the reason to break the CLI by making it no_param?
Sorry I meant, no_option, there is no no_param. Because it returns it
back to Nathaniel's argument about interactive session and I agree with
it. Why would we have both --no-qrcode and --qrcode options available on
CLI?
