I completely disagree. If the existing set of commands causes confusion, we need to deprecate those parts and add new commands. Even if we have a ton of commands already.

It does not need to hurt, either. Just think of init-db. Ever heard of it? We still have it, yet it is not relevant.

Ciao, Dscho
