When they implemented yp/NIS, I told them to make these commands public. RFEs were opened. Netapp decided against it, so they were closed. Trot out the tired old "we're an appliance, it should be simple" explanation.
You were right. We were wrong.
I think Netapp would find it more production, rather than doing another round of "tell us what you want" solicitation, is to go back and see what they got the last n times they asked "tell us what you want" and didn't do anything.
That's a good point. The archives of toasters should definitely be a good starting point. As would the list of commands that we actually teach people about in NetApp 101, etc.
And of course, we've probably added even more secret commands since the last go-round.
