Here's an usability question:
Is it easier to type: "list-components cluster1" or "list-components
--target cluster1"?
For list-components command, it's possible to have --target as the
option and --type as the operand. But back in pre-v2 time, the deploy
command had --type as an option so to be compatible, --type became an
option and target was made as an operand. Not sure if I diverge from
the original question. But want to point out the history behind why
target became an operand in list-components.
