months or so, but am willing to do what I can to move this along.

Hi PSC,

with the upcoming GRASS 7 release we have to many branches to maintain
(releasebranch6, devbranch6, releasebranch7 and trunk).
Can I ask you to take a decision about the future of all this branches?

I could suggest something like:
- keep releasebranch6 only for important bugfixes, no new feature and
starting to forget it
- put in reading mode or remove (after backport the differences with
grass64) devbranch6
- releasebranch7 is the new stable release branch, so new features
only when we are far from release a new version
- trunk for new feature

what do you think?

Thanks a lot

Along the same lines, I don’t feel in the loop enough to judge specifics, but 
like the thrust of the discussion.

So +0 from me too, if it’s needed.
