Deprecated CmdResult helper class and promoted CommandResult
These classes are subtly different, particularly in terms of their truthiness. CmdResult - attributes: out, err, war - truthy: if err is falsy CommandResult - attributes: stdout, stderr, data - truthy: if err is falsy AND data is not None So CmdResult was oriented to provide essentially info, error, and warning messages to the user (typically as stirngs), whereas CommandResult is geared towards providing info and error messages to the user as strings in addition to data to the user in a command-specific format which is arbitrary other than it should never be None if the command succeeds.
