Correct, we shouldn't change this behaviour - it'll break apps parsing the output
FWIW Rich Jones complains that the output as it stands is nigh on unparseable anyway. Perhaps we should consider that a bug, and fix it...
The new --details option is our chance to change output - it outputs whatever format we want, because it is a new flag; Rich, do you have any preferences about what it _should_ output?
--details is still targetted at humans. If you want something more easily parseable it should use a structured format like CSV. So I don't think we should be overloading --details for this purpose.
