I also disagree with removing keyword expansion on the grounds that a 
lot of the time, it's useful.  Maybe a solution would be that for 
potentially dangerous commands, we could insist on a non-expanded 
version.  Something like:

~$ monotone rev
monotone: The "revert" command must be typed in full

How does that sound?  Best of both worlds, or unwanted nannying?
