Is there a reason for not implementing "print brief" function for firewall in 2.9 version? I'm asking because I'm working only with terminal console and filter, nat and mangle tables when become large are very difficult to maintain. It is at least 2 times more difficult for me to maintain firewall rules in 2.9 than 2.8. The problem for me is not that in 2.9 there's more config options but that there's no "print brief" function. Moreover, in my view "print terse" is just useless.

So my apeal to the mikrotik dev team is to implement the questioned fuctions for printing rules in a brief view.

actually that won't help you, but we will think about what you asked. by the way, if you do `print` in `firewall filter`, it already outputs only what's acutally being used. try it.

Yes, I know that it outputs only what is actually being used , however it's more dificult to orientate than it was in 2.8 versions with "print brief".
