They are! Consider (new vs. old):
describe-gnu-project
vs.
describe-project
- which project?
(Compare to e.g. "describe-bindings" which describes current bindings,
so I would expect describe-project describes the "current project"
whatever that might be...)
view-emacs-todo
vs.
view-todo
- confusing wrt todo-mode.
Also, there's already view-emacs-FAQ, view-emacs-news, etc.
so view-emacs-todo is the correct name.
