My inclination is for the command to exist with a noop check, the main 
reason being that if we create it for everyone this cycle then the 
deployment tools can implement calls to the status commands all at once. 
If we wait until checks are needed then someone has to not only 
implement it in the service but also remember to go update all of the 
deployment tools. Implementing a noop check should be pretty trivial 
with the library so it isn't a huge imposition.
