I'm not sure if this was done on purpose or not, but in the 6.x version of views there was a drupal_alter on the views_ajax callback which was awesome when you wanted to change the views behavior from a replace to an append for example.
While working on Drupal 7 I realized this hook doesn't exists anymore. Not sure if this was done on purpose in favor of hook_ajax_render_alter.
Again, I'm not sure if this was done on purpose but a patch is attached that adds hook_views_ajax_data_alter which takes in the ajax command that can be alter along with the view object.

ericduran commentedOh just incase anyone is wondering why I would prefer a views_hook instead of using hook_ajax_render_alter is that hook_ajax_render_alter doesn't have any context. You do not have the view object on that hook, and is also difficult to tell which of the commands in hook_ajax_render_alter is the views command.
This patch allows you to easily switch the replace command with a different command and or your own implementation.
