I remember doing this expansion when I worked there: every module you include has its own set of command flags, and none get suppressed when you include them, so you end up with colossal unions like this. It's not as though any one team said, "Hey, let's have 1600 flags!"

But, apparently, no one has said "Hey, let's not have 1600 flags", either.

My candidate for Hardest Thing in Tech:

Getting rid of anything that's already out there. Someone, somewhere, is using it.

Google's apparently mastered that art, at least.
