It'd be better if we could get it right the first time, with the
understanding that the output format is not very negotiable at this
late hour. But as best I can tell, most of the unhappiness is with the
design of the switch set, which is not something I want to defend in
detail. There's a lot there that isn't needed for the RHDB tool as I
understand it, and I think that altering the switches used to get the
output that the tool does need would still be a feasible change from the
tool's point of view.
I would be in favor of simplifying the supported switch set to the
minimum needed by Red Hat's tool (the equivalent of -G -M if I
understood Fernando correctly), and re-adding complexity in future
when and if it's shown to be needed. But we need to make a decision
about this now. Preferably yesterday.
