[GRASS-dev] Launching GRASS 7 development

[Markus Neteler]

While we should concentrate now on getting out 6.3.0 (e.g.,
fixing issues indicated by Helena [1]), it is important
to start planning for a GRASS 7 dev-branch management.

For GRASS 6, we used for quite some time a mixed solution,
with new code stored in the grass6/ repository and linking
old, relevant code from grass[5]/ into it using some link
scripts.

I am not sure if we want the same for grass7/, too.
On the other hand, replicating code is impossible since
it won't be well maintained given our limited resources.

Thoughts also here?

Let's continue to maintain
