Rolfe, In order to help prioritization, can you please add a reason for the high priority/severity? What user story does it address/what does it prevent the user from doing?
The priority and severity come from the parent bz. (Do clones have parents?) Please feel free to adjust those settings as you see fit.
Let's ensure man page / command line help is updated documenting verify mode.
--help and the man page do briefly mention mode=verify. Closing. Please reopen if needed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1565523 ***
