Yes, we want the command to be FAST and that means it has to use cached
output.

But no, it is NOT a good decision to have a parameter like '--format
tabular' change the behaviour of the command - it is explicitly a
parameter about FORMAT not about SCOPE, and a change of behaviour that
crosses those lines is bad UX.

In this case, please *cache* the information desired in the normal
output (version etc) in controllers.yaml. It might be out of date, but a
--refresh option might be used to expand SCOPE to get fresher versions etc.
