I'm not opposed to vtkProp being renamed to vtkViewProp, but that obviously has bigger implications than AddActor->AddViewProp.  For example, since the AddActor->AddViewProp change was done from VTK 4 to 5, such a refactoring would still allow the wiki examples to be VTK 5 & 6 compatible, whereas vtkProp->vtkViewProp would not, and would mean updating docs, the wiki, migration guide, etc.

Cheers,
