My suggestion was to start a GRASS 7 release branch and stop adding new features to 6.x *after* 6.4.4 stable is released. Too complicated to work on 2 active release branches at the same time.

I agree.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
I think we have too many issues with 6.4* that need to be resolved quickly that we can start thinking about grass7<br>
after we have a stable (in the sense as described by Glynn)<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
version of GRASS that people can download and that works.<br>
<br>
Currently, we have stable GRASS6.4.2, but it is not very useable on Windows<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
and GRASS6.4.3 changes every day so students have different versions depending on when they downloaded<br>
and addressing any issues that they may have gets messy pretty quickly.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><br>
Moreover, there are issues with Mac binaries as well.<br>
