Ah, yes! I agree that here, this information should be contained in help for the command and not necessarily as an output of running the command.

However, lately, there have also been a notion of providing user friendly information of the type (a) 'where to from here?' as well as (b) 'not seeing what you expected? try this'...

An example of (a) would be what we do with empty lists - when requesting a list of something and getting an empty result, we tend to make suggestions. Another, different aspect of this would be an output from 'add-user'.

An example of (b) would be something like 'juju controllers' with '-refresh' message when we suspect that the information provided could be outdated.

So, we certainly have precedence of being more verbose about anticipating user's next logical step and providing guidance in addition to just running commands. I do not think that we should always be sterile and clinical in our outputs, especially for the commands that may be involved in setting up a client, such as 'clouds' here.
