Is it an actual use case or speculation?

Not with this patch, but we could do that *if* there’s a need.

OK.  So far, my impression was that this information was hardly used at
all, which is why it seemed reasonable to keep it behind ‘--details
--list-generations’.

I’m open to supporting ‘--news --details’, but only if it corresponds to
a real use case.

Thanks,
