I just now read in full your second email on the original thread where
you mentioned doing this solution, sorry for the redundancy. You
expressed reservations about it, wondering what else it might break. I'd
suggest we make the change and test it, rather than having a "-o" option
with limited utility? I imagine the biggest question mark is how
blkparse handles it.

I'm not so sure about this Brett - people may have scripts out there
that depend on the current semantics. I'd be OK with doing it if Jens
thought this was a minor concern...
As long as the change only affected output of multiple devices with
"-o", which doesn't work today, then I'd think no scripts could be affected.
Thanks,
Brett
