 Yes, we know. Is also for this reason that probably the best choice will
 be to move GRASS into the new processing/analytical framework, and after
 the porting to deprecate the plugin. But until then we need to keep alive
 the plugin because -as it is obvious- who needs to make GIS analysis
 within QGIS needs most of the times to use also GRASS.

 brakes backward compatibility. So you can hardly expect such announcements
 even in grass-dev ML.

 Ok. But at least a few modules have changed (ex: v.generalize) and we
 realized it just when we used the module after QGIS have been recompiled
 against the new GRASS release. Then we had to change the module GUI in the
 plugin, and had to tell users to use trunk/master instead of the stable
 release... not a big deal, but not straightforward.
