we are in the first half of release cycle (counting that 6.4.2 could
be released in November/December) so I think that we don't be so much
pedandic at this stage. 2-3 four months before release we could froze
relbr64, focus on testing, bugfixing. This make sense for me.

Well, it's not clone at all! It's has some extra functionality
compared bash version of g.extension. Moreover it's actively developed
and maintained. This functionality is required by wxGUI, in other
words wxGUI uses pythonized g.extension. I am interested to develop
python version of g.extension, not the bash script. There is no chance
to replace bash script by pythonized clone in G6 mainly because of
your attitude. It's closed story for me. So I decided to include at
least pythonized g.extension to G6 which is required by wxGUI.
