Hi Daniel,

hmm, this makes faces not so useable for certain cases. So for example
the clean face: Setting the mode on the cli is quite cumbersome, and I'm
not really happy to propose a face, that only works with an additional
cli flag, to be included in the core.
However, the certificate face will be included, which, I fear, will lead
to a lot of confusion and imho regarding Randall's UX talk, the current
behavior should actually be a no go.
So as far as I see we have to options:
* fix setting mode before 2.7. Is this feasible?
* Ship things that require an ugly face/cli-options chain. Could we then
at least say that certain actions require master mode and abort
otherwise? One option is to manually test it on our own in the action,.
The other way would be to have a more declarative way, where we can
require run modes for an action and abort execution in a more generic
and clean way. (With a nice error message and so on...)
It would be nice to have the first option, otherwise various faces will
look quite half baken. However, I don't know all the internals and
further plans to decide and say whether it's actually feasible. So #2
would also be fine, although rather hacky and smelly.
Other options?
