Comment (by hamish):

 for grass 6 there is a link to the old name so that r.cats still works as
 expected from the command line or from scripts. The GRASS book is written
 for GRASS 6.

 for grass 7 backwards compatibility is guaranteed not to be preserved, so
 the backwards-compatibility name link is dropped and prior documentation
 is not compatible.


 regards,
 Hamish
