This was asked for back then, and briefly discussed on irc (11/2012). The preference was not to do too much typing, although the command hierarchy would become less structured and can cause some trouble when looking for docs. I'm slightly worried about adding more aliases as it can cause confusion when writing documentaiton and recommending how to do things. But I understand the motivations to make the interface more consistent or convenient to use. In this case it's moving replace to the expected place. I'm not against it but more feedback would help.
