The talk is of merging them; maybe I misinterpreted this, but it sounded
as if the resulting super-rbrowse would replace abrowse.

If the intention is really that they should continue to be two separate
commands, then there's no problem -- they'll each continue to serve
their purpose.

If the intention on the other hand is a single command, then more
attention should be paid to the details of making rbrowse as easy to use
as abrowse in the common case.
