 Why backport working solutions instead of releasing working solutions?

 as in grass7. The modifications done in grass7 are probably too
 fundamental to backport (not sure about libgis and the raster part, but
 for the vector part I had to change core functions in the vector libs).

 That would require backporting core parts of trunk. This won't be fixed
 for GRASS 6 and has been fixed some time ago for GRASS 7.
