the two (!) remaining blocker bugs are:

* https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1115
   -> Mac OSX only? Seems to be a wxpython 2.8.10.1 problem (wasn't there
     something similar recently in the new i.points?)

* https://trac.osgeo.org/grass/ticket/1020
  -> Windows. AFAIK solved and spammed with another problem.

Please do or postpone - we are holding 9000 or so changes
after the last stable release. And 6.4.1 will come out way
faster.

-> r.in.wms should not hold a release.

-> closed, too.

Good. So only two blockers left (see above).
