We don't yet have the other command, let alone any user feedback.  So
I don't think you can know this is bad/broken yet.  You may think so,
but I happen to think differently, so let's not behave as if this is a
fact already.

Using a specialized command for a special job is nowhere near jumping
through hoops.
