It should be noted that 'vos help' does not show online & offline as valid
sub-commands.  I suggest we keep the 'supported' in sync with that output.
That could mean:

- mark vos offline/online & friends as unsupported
or
- change vos to not set CMD_HIDDEN (fwiw, we would also want to do the same
with other hidden commands).
