I agree, UI changes should come at a later date if necessary. As for amttool support, I understand what you're saying, my only point was that if wsman works for both older and new/current AMT versions, is there a benefit to keeping two tools around that do essentially the same job if one tool works for all?
In any case, I also think that is something to revisit later, not as part of this proposal.

Also agreed, I meant to imply that too would be revisited at a later date, that's up to You and Andres and Andy to mull over as we now have two teams responsible for MAAS upkeep, the MAAS team and Server Enablement.
