It's not strictly backwards compatible in that someone mixing old and
new code could have a situation where "old" dm-stats parsing code could
see entries in list output created using "new" features.
This would only affect users not implementing program_id filtering (or
using it in broken ways) though so it's probably insignificant enough to
be ignored.
