Should the ticket be re-opened?

I'm not opposed to removing it I guess, but how can you know it is 
rarely used? Nobody has provided one in a bug report perhaps?

The advantage of it over the shell is that it always logs in debug mode, 
so if something goes horribly wrong and the user didn't specify debug 
you still get the output vs having to re-run it and hope the same thing 
happens again.
