A point on flags: yes it would be great if the user wouldn't have to remember to provide --gc-tag explicitly. Bringing that even further, I'd like to be able to specify the cluster in the config (likely in the last "actualization" layer). Conceptually it's like the namespace: you can currently craft configs that are parametric on a given namespace and then fix that value to a given deployment specific choice. IMHO clusters should be the same except currently they are "outside the config" since the choice of the cluster affects the API endpoint the tool has to talk to.

In my ideal scenario my colleagues would just need to know which file to "apply". The file itself (through its name or directory location or comments or more documentation) will guide the user to the meaning of what environment that actually is (dev, staging, production, some well knownv deployment X)
