You guys run on another track than I do.
I am wrapping my head around renaming hook_nodeapi op foo to hook_node_foo and finding a better name for hook_load (which is not a hook). Functor came to my mind.
I am vehemently against removing hook_load and friends -- it's ridiculous to remove a good, working concept just because it's confusing to some. When I explain Drupal coding I always explain that node system can be expanded in two, orthogonal directions, one being you can create your own node types and use hook_load and friends and the other direction being hook_nodeapi
