An alternative might be to keep the existing "--reason" option, but
display the additional information you suggest depending on the verbosity
level that's been set?

My only concern with the additional information (although TBH I would find
it really useful) is that it would result in a much wider REASON column in
the output table, which would eat into the space used for the VERSION
column.
