I completely disagree.  If the existing set of commands causes  
confusion,
we need to deprecate those parts and add new commands.  Even if we  
have a
ton of commands already.

The confusion isn't at the command level; it's at the switch/option  
level. The solution isn't to add a new command.

It does not need to hurt, either.  Just think of init-db.  Ever  
heard of
it?  We still have it, yet it is not relevant.

The comparison isn't really valid. init-db is effectively invisible,  
but you're talking about adding a new "in your face" porcelain command.
