as I have stated many times ofbiz is very fluid. from 2.0 up where things are and how things are done have change every 6 months of less. everybody has survived though a lot of grumbling. the change would definitely save a lot of explaining, in the future. I like the idea of keep the "run-install" but only for seed data. then have one for "run-install-demo" that calls "run-install" then loads the demo data. This way if some follows docs that have not been change they will ask were the demo data is and they can be informed and the doc can be changed. after 6 month who will remember that "run-install" once loaded demo data.
