+1 for legacy and especially preview, I like that a lot!

I'm unsure about "current stable". It seems like one of the works might be 
enough. I thought stable should be enough, but PostgreSQL actually uses Current 
in documentation just be itself. Isn't there a noun "release" implied in each 
of those? Aren't all releases stable unless noted otherwise? Isn't then 
"stable" redundant? Anyway, I like the proposal even as is.

Devel (development)  has wording redundancy.
What about7.9 snapshot (under development)

You are correct about the redundancy. I was trying to make the change as minor 
as possible. A somewhat better listing would be

GRASS GIS 7.8.5 (current stable)

GRASS GIS 7.6.1 (legacy) [change from “old”]

GRASS GIS 7.9 (preview) [“development” is OK, but “preview” sounds more 
inviting for use]
