Exactly.

In the example I gave, the rationale was, after the vulnerabiliy in 
gnutls, getting a list of services which needed restarting.

I was just surprised that some funcionality I very often use was gone.
Perhaps I'm doing things in a peculiar ways?
Are there so few people doing this, that it could be overlooked?

Of course, getting back to the previous example, listing the binaries 
which are linked against gnutls might be another route...

Ok.
I'd just hate do duplicate work...
