    Right.

    ^^^ already here I am lost :-) Trimming is doing what (also
    compared to -l)?


I was asking myself the same some time ago. Perhaps this option does not need to be hidden, but it would be good to have a positive definition of what trimming means (also in the manual page of r.proj)? I would be inclined to think that if even Markus does not know what this means, many users won't know either ;-)

    All quite complicated and contradicting a bit the purpose of r.import.
    Can the usage of -n be made automated for r.import and not exposed to
    the user?


It can be there by default, but maybe it could be harmful in certain cases?

    (in case I suggest to hide -n for now for the 7.0.2 release, it can be
    introduced later if not avoidable).


It is sort of hidden in the Optional tab, I am not sure if we gain much by hiding it completely.
