Hi Vit,

This seems to be the case for all Boolean keys returned by VICI commands
(with the exception of "success"). Granted, the documentation of these
keys often says something like: up = <yes, if up event>
In regards to backwards compatibility, fixing the documentation might be
better. Because users who noticed that "no" is never sent and now just
check for the existence of the "up" key would have to change their code
if we suddenly started to send back "no". In [1] I documented that
status quo.
Regards,
Tobias
