I do not particulary view "feature richness" is the primary benefit
of 'push' that makes it shine.  'save' has a quirk in the command
line option syntax, but 'push' corrects it, and that is why we want
to move users towards the latter.

IOW, I do not object to the agenda; it is just I found the
justification used to push the agenda forward was flawed.

Thanks.
