Great, I agree with both of you!

Our supporting a variety of API formats has given a significant win for
those end-users not using heavyweight XML-friendly languages, e.g. writing
shell scripts in the way one might when working with traditional
infrastructure and the contents of one's virtual machines. I don't want to
lose that user-convenience.

Cheers,
