Can you explain how the commands are handled for old/new here?

Because I'd still much prefer to sort things out so that they make
sense for the new code if possible.  i.e. have a 32-bit command
and 32 bit flags, and use sensible encoding for the new one, and
remap the supported once to the old organically grown one.
