Re: [development] Giving form_alter an $op and calling it more than once.

Fapi is yet ready to handle view and load hooks but I would not be surprised if it goes in that direction. When it does, those nodeapi ops will be deprecated as well. The formn api is a nice callback system just like whats needed here. yes, that's spot on. Actually you can use fapi, even now, for an alternative view and load functionality - you just don't have default "views" for those. The problem is it doesn't know of the default view and load hooks. But as you say, the nodeapi can easily get deprecated.
