 force  makes sense in a command like cros mark as stable  p foo bar commit force  but does not make much sense if you say cros mark as stable all commit force  this becomes evident by the fact that your boolean in the lib is  allow blacklisted  and not  force i d prefer to not permit the option all  and force  in the same command as that is something you certainly do not want  you should always specify  p if you use force
