In principle, I do not have any problem with this. You should only be
aware of the point, that in earlier version there was some very
strange axis.linked, which was basically something like axis.regular,
but not calculating axis partitions ... and there there other linked
axis like linkedbar and linkedsplit. All those are gone now. Instead,
we have an anchoredaxis (an axis with position and data storage) and
an linkedaxis (an axis with a position, but not a private data
storage). Overall, this is quite clean now, but we have some strange
namings ... right. So I don't have any problems with changing back the
names ...

I'm sorry for the confusion. It just was very important to clean up
the system ...
