They are diagnostic commands but we have been using CSRs to track additions as 
they are a documented interface, e.g. 
[JDK-8370204](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8370204) and 
[JDK-833942](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8339420). I may have it wrong  
as I thought we wanted a CSR for additions/changes to the CLI.

(The output of a command is a different topic of course. Most commands yield 
unstructured/plain text that is not intended to be parsed, no CSR if the output 
changes. However there are a few commands that produce binary files or 
structured output that are intended to be parsed, and so are a supported 
interface for the CSR to track.)
