Comment(by gsathya):

 Replying to [comment:1 karsten]:
 > Can we instead add an abstraction layer between presentation (web or
 CLI) and application logic (filtering, grouping, etc.)?  We should
 probably even do that when dropping either web or CLI to make the code
 cleaner.

 Yeah, the cli code is coupled with application logic now, so even if we
 have to delete the cli code we'll have to refactor that part. So it makes
 sense to create an abstraction layer then.

 > I'm not so sure that nobody uses the CLI.  Maybe, if really nobody uses
 the CLI, instead of dropping it, we should fork the two projects.  Having
 the mentioned abstraction layer would be nicer, though.

 Well, I'm mostly inferring this from the lack of any bugs reported related
 to the CLI as compared to the web interface. It could just mean that the
 cli is really good but ..
