[gdal-dev] Call for review on RFC 104: Adding a "gdal" front-end command line interface

[Andrew Bell]

My biggest question is why you would mix vector and raster operations
in the CLI.

And since we're taking on changing things, I would wonder why those
two parts of the codebase are commingled. Is there a strong reason not
to have an OGR project that does vector operations and a GDAL project
that does raster operations? It seems like mostly an historical
artifact.
