I beleieve that to have more option didn't mean that you lose your preferite functions.
Any user can need different function.
And with a switch anyone can decide if prefer to use or not the feature.
If you have an option like "--nopause" that suppress "Press any key to continue" to the end it's possible to use the function that you like and other users can download some maps with differnt feature without to wait the end to press a key to continue.
For you function is possible to add an option for log output (like --log xxx.txt).
As I explained to have both features (my and your proposal) don't mean that one of us lose something.
