I agree with the sentiment, but I don't know how practical that is at
the moment. 

r.terraflow breaks often, has been a headache to maintain and the author
does not have the time/resources to keep it current.  OTOH, it is a
useful module and is portable in the sense that there is a ArcGIS
version.

Perhaps relegate it to the SVN addon repository since it does break so
many GRASS conventions?  I wish we had some statistics on module
frequency to determine how inconvenient such a move would be.
Personally, I've only used r.terraflow on occasion, but that type of
analysis is not my forte.
