I'm not sure if I'm supposed to be reviewing PRs, but why not? Maybe we should discuss that actually, what the process is that we're using.

There's a bit of context missing from the description, but I'm guessing from the comment in community/interface/gd.py that this was physically unsound, and is therefore being removed?

I'm seeing a few more files with set_acceleration in them that should probably be updated too:

• src/amuse/community/mpiamrvac/interface.py
• src/amuse/community/mpiamrvac/interface.t
• src/amuse/test/suite/core_tests/test_bridge.py
• src/amuse/test/suite/codes_tests/test_mpiamrvac.py
• doc/tutorial/simplegrav/interface_1.cc
• doc/reference/stellar_dynamics_interface_specification.rst

Yes, that's correct. The codes will always overwrite the acceleration, so setting this is misleading.

I'm seeing a few more files with set_acceleration in them that should probably be updated too:

* `src/amuse/community/mpiamrvac/interface.py`

* `src/amuse/community/mpiamrvac/interface.t`

* `src/amuse/test/suite/core_tests/test_bridge.py`

* `src/amuse/test/suite/codes_tests/test_mpiamrvac.py`

In these cases it seems to be used in a different way, maybe needs to be addressed but that would be a different PR.

* `doc/tutorial/simplegrav/interface_1.cc`

* `doc/reference/stellar_dynamics_interface_specification.rst`

Updated.
