My opinion is to not backport it but to use the available energy to prepare
a GRASS 6.1.0 release. Only then it can enter Debian etc.

Maybe people could indicate how far they see their contributions in terms
of sort-of-stability to create a release branch? I am not talking about
6.2.-stable,
just a somewhat reliable 6.1.0 release to illustrate the great new features
of 6.1.
