In my opinion run-install is misleading as it really does not tell that
it is going to install demo data and cause confusion to new users as it
has happened with me in the past. For the benefit of old and new users,
I suggest to add new command run-install-demo and leave the run-install
as it is for a while and document them to tell what exactly they do.
There are numerous examples of this in the Linux/Unix world.
Thanks,

Why is it ridiculous to think of shell script parameters as an API? You
would surely be surprised if "ls" became "rm" one day, as an extreme but
valid example.
As a new user of the "OFBiz Linux OS" I would be also very surprised if the "rm" command
really was a "rm -r" command; in my opinion this is worth of a change, even if old users would have
to read one line of documentation to learn the change.
But really, it is not very important, I am more than happy to leave things as
is because I understand that this could be annoying for old users and frankly
speaking I don't have time and energy to further discuss this.

I think we can safely regard shell scripts as a class of
program.
Regarding "run-install", we've set an expectation that run-install will
give you a demo system and that could throw people off. Changing it
doesn't seem hazardous but I'm not clear that it adds value.
