 At the moment, GRASS maps and external files produced using r.external.out
 are not fully kept in sync.

 This applies both when maps are renamed or removed. Names of external
 files are not changed by g.rename and files are not deleted by g.remove og
 g.mremove.

 If possible, it would be nice if GRASS maps and external files could be
 kept in sync in order to keep the relations between them clear and for not
 accumulating unused data (map files a user might think he deleted when
 running g.remove). At least for maps produced with r.external.out this
 would be nice (though maybe not for maps linked with r.external...).
