 so is there also an agreement to rename all r3.* commands to vo.* commands
 and changing all manuals accordingly? If yes, this will require several
 weeks of focused testing and reviews/updates of all grass7 related
 manuals, tutorials and scripts.I don't have a good solution for this issue
 but I am not a big fan of changing names unless it is absolutely necessary
 or leads to a major improvement. Reading through the discussion I am
 wondering whether anybody has done a solid research on what are the 3D
 rasters referred to in different disciplines and which term is closest to
 our users backgrounds or are all these three names that are being
 considered based on what each individual thinks is right? Which brings me
 to another point - is this being discussed on the users list as well? The
 users will be the ones most affected (and potentially confused) so why not
 get some feedback from them?
