[osiris-devel] removing features

[Alexei_Roudnev]

As I said - I prefer 100% WEB console, isntead of having CLI 'osiris' . For
example, I need to see change history for particular host, set up Automatic
confirm on/off, see 'lsl -l' ovber the data base. And I can not learn admins
and managers to use primitive 'cli' interface, which may be fine for
configuration, but is not proper tool for 'ops'.
