True.
There are ways to fix this one: we can allow to register a given command a second time, which then replaces the previously registered command. We can also allow this only for the common node commands.
Should I implement this? Then upon new release, all potential VTY users out there can still register their own common node commands to replace the default ones and should not experience breakage.
