Exactly. While I do not think qgit uses them, fsck-objects and init-db also got shorter-and-sweeter synonyms. > Do you plan to remove it in a near future? Not me personally. The recent shorter-and-sweeter synonyms are too young to kick out their original names. We probably should wait for at least 6 months, preferrably longer, after the first major release that introduced them. > Probably you already now why I'm asking this ;-) No. But we should certainly draw up deprecation/removal schedule. It simply could be "never" ;-).
