Several attempts to make big jumps with GRASS have shown that this
might not be possible.

So we need to wrap up and release GRASS5.
I've outlined a good plan and procedure how to get there a while ago.

Still we need the complete merge of the two branches and a new
release branch which radically leaves out modules 
with release critical bugs.
So the new release branch would not have any module with release
critical bug and then gets released.

On the merge:
Glynn also posted a couple analysis of the differences of the 
two branches in GRASS5. Glynn: Maybe you can propose how to completly
discontinue the old release branch. You might also just do it if
nobody else objects.

On the bugtracker: 
There are many bugs in there. We need people to
evalutate them, reproduce them, fix or delay them.
