What we need is a command line option that can be used to manipulate a 
device tree.  All of the existing options could then be implemented in 
terms of the former option.

There will probably be a lot of things in the future that you can only 
do via device tree manipulation.  I don't see any reason why not to add 
convenient syntax though for the most common things.
