 Replying to [comment:87 huhabla]:
 > many thanks for all of your effort.

 personally I am not happy with these changes too. They should have been
 done much more earlier, now it's very late. But still I think it's better
 than not to do it at all. Anyway I am not happy about this situation.

 > I am not arguing about the sense of the changes. As i stated before i am
 fine with them. I simply have a problem how these changes are applied. We
 have a wonderful test suite that will help you to avoid breaking parts of
 GRASS. We should make use of it to avoid such a discussion.

 Let's try to focus on element list name. Under condition that we don't
 want to use abbreviated names, what is your preference

 {{{
 raster3d*
 volume
 3draster
 }}}

 (*) Then we could modify parser to understand also `rast` and `rast3d`
 with appropriate warning

 {{{
 g.list rast
 WARNING: Element <rast> has been renamed <raster>. Please update your
 script.
 ...

 g.list rast3d
 WARNING: Element <rast3d> has been renamed <raster3d>. Please update your
 script.
 ...
 }}}

 What do you think?
