Hi Jes,

some time ago we have added "RWH Policy" field to --examine output 
and we
haven't heard any complaints about that change.
Also it is better to parse output from --export option which is 
unchanged in
this patch.
Hi Mariusz,

That is correct, however the policy stuff was added to the end of the 
output, it
didn't change the existing part. I am a little mixed on this one, but 
I do agree
--export should be the recommended use case for scripts.

Cheers,
Jes
Are you willing to accept this patch if no one disagrees or should I 
remove this additional field and resend the patch?
I have applied it - nobody has spoken out against it and -E is the 
correct way to pull the info out.
