I have found that I need some input about this.
I could simply remove the command scripts for hwreset,sensor,etc. with
appropriate warning to legacy users that they are now defunct, but renaming the
man pages is the issue where I need input.
In renaming the man pages my proposal is to name it to match the meta-command
subfunction with a prefix, and using "i" as the prefix makes sense to me, given
that we don't want it to be too long to type.  Below is the result.
I need to know if that is sufficiently unique or not before I go through and
proliferate the new naming scheme.  
There are previous examples in other projects of this type of prefix, for
example the SCSI list utility is named 'slist'.
