I can't point you to a specific message, but we did decide to  
deprecate the "consise"
CLI's because we felt that we did want to move API-like stuff to  
manager and keep
commands for admin usage in the CLI. I don't see many cases where you  
have an
operator or receptionist sitting at the CLI monitoring calls and doing  
a redirect
on the cli when they see a bad call. That's just for geeks that test  
stuff, which might
be a good reason to have it as an optional module. Normal users would  
do it
in a web interface, and the recommendation is that that kind of  
interfaces use
the AMI, not the CLI.

That we have a bunch of these still around is no reason to keep  
accepting new ones.
With that way of reasoning, we could add a lot of stuff that no longer  
makes sense...
We have to have an idea of where we want to go, some design to follow.  
To copy
a manager command in the CLI is just adding to the confusion on where  
to use
CLI and where to use AMI.

To commit within a very short time after initiating a code review is  
not very
polite behaviour either... If you really want to have a review and  
just not do it
for the sake of the process, please give it time.
