Folks,

I like to avoid "me too" posts to lists unless there is some real good
reason for it, and I think there is a good reason.

I agree 100% with Jan. I think that GRASS 5.0 needs to be truly fixed and
completely stable before it's released.  Only bad things can come from
doing a quick release with broken user modules.
