That's two interfaces that depend on installed binaries and you haven't
listed them all yet, not only is the syntax rediculously long compared
to for example a sed command but it certainly isn't a truly universal
interface that would work from say even a minimal boot cd or even a
hexeditor or by hand.

Apparently they are meant to make it easier for administrators, yet they
cost us time. I guess more user testing as well as dev testing is
required.
