Thank you.
I've begun looking through these and like what I've seen.
However, I'd prefer to avoid providing short-named options
for --help and --version.

If we really want to fail for -s, -f, or -i when setting the hostname,
then it's best to give an additional diagnostic saying why.
But wouldn't it be better just to warn or ignore altogether?

Great.  Thanks again.
