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
