Description

Views Bulk Operations seems to be a superset of this module. Would be great if you guys put effort into that one.

Second that.
I think both those and Taxonomy Manager, Taxonomy Node Operations and Taxonomy Batch Operations could be all merged.

I'll need to review the suggested modules.

I'm not familiar with Views Bulk Operations. If it requires Views -- as the name suggests -- I'd like to maintain some alternative for quick-and-easy batch operations without having to first install Views.

If merging, views should be optional. The other functions should work without Views installed. None of the modules I mentioned require views. They do their work but seems unnecessary that they are separate modules.

Just for the record, if renaming/merging, I suggest that some sort of "bulk" indication is present in the "new" name. I think "bulk" is a better descriptive term than "batch" or "mass" in this case. Perhaps "Taxonomy node bulk updates" or "Taxonomy node mass updates"?

Since my module is incredibly trivial, I don't think I have anything to add to the merger of any of the modules listed above. I fully support merging the functionality of Mass Change with whatever modules replicate the functionality, so long as Views is not required.

My technical knowledge is limited, so I'm opening this up to whomever would like to accomplish the task.
