No, I cannot imagine such a thing. Perhaps at some point in the future, but
first any deprecated functions would be removed from the documentation so
that they are being used less and less. But the old syntax would still be
supported for some time.
Just to be clear: the syntax as such is unchanged for colnames() and
rownames(), although these functions have now been renamed. And the
old names still work OK as aliases, for as long as need be.
In the long run it would be good to revise hansl code that uses the
old names, but as Keynes said, in the long run we're all dead.
