do you mean also to separate config files, eg. wxGUI settings? Then you would have eg. .grass64/wx and .grass65/wx. Unfortunately this layout doesn't allow to have installed extensions eg. for 6.4.2 and 6.4.3 or 6.4.2 and 6.4.3svn, you would end up with the same mismatch (expecting than extension will be installed in `.grass64/addons`). I think that `~/.grass$MAJOR/addons$MAJOR.$MINOR.$BUGVER` is more flexible approach. It's blocker for 6.4.2 (since you have asked RC3 for `g.extension` even it's not *really* ready, I would personally incline to postpone all the story to 6.4.3). After this request it's unrealistic to hope that we will release 6.4.2 till the end of the year. Bear in mind that RC2 didn't allowed to install extension on Windows at all. What's opinion of other developers?
