+1 As a low priority, we should also try to be consistent in using names starting with '-' for all targets that don't form part of the api and including good descriptions for those that do. > We can maintain the previous targets for a while via redirects and put > in some deprecation statements. I would be inclined to have the old targets just fail with a message containing the new target name. That is, force people to change rather than letting the depreciated targets work by calling the new targets automatically. Regards, Mark.
