Ah, it seems I have not been clear enough. I do not want to change the
size of the postscript terminal (neither in ps nor in eps mode). At the
moment, the epslatex and ps(la)tex terminals use different sizes than the
eps mode of the postscript terminal. The question is whether to use the
eps size also for epslatex and ps(la)tex plots. Doing so would increase
consistency, not doing so would preserve compatibility to old versions.
Postscript and eps plots will stay unchanged.

What do you think?
