This is okay,
but as Eric said: We need goals to get a stable GRASS5 release
and this kind of proposed reorganisations hit the bar what I would 
call a save change for a beta version.

So we shall discussion our goals first, solve then and finally get a
stable version out. Stable also means tested. We should go into feature
freece and start fixing bugs only for a while. 
Development will continue on the experimental developmen tree then.

We should release what we haven then, as stable tree and then start a new one.
As we already discussed or planned.
