I don't want to waste to much time on this, but at large we can't stay forever
in some state because it exists, conservative?

Jacopo,
You're missing the point - it's not as easy as that. The command "ant run-install" is mentioned in innumerable places in
documentation, websites, books, etc. It's not just a matter of modifying a script - it's a matter of rewriting seven years of
documentation.
If it's not an issue, then why did you bring it up?

The easiest way to do this would be
to:
1) add run-install-demo (= run-install)
2) run-install should simply print a message explaining
that now run-install-demo should be used
But really, I am not very interested in spending more time
to discuss this, especially because it is not an issue I (or
my customers) have.
Kind regards,
Jacopo

>> 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.
