Relegating something to add-ons is a reliable way to reduce the amount
of developer oversight it gets. E.g. currently you can't just "make"
the add-ons/grass7 directory (it lacks a Makefile), so most developers
won't even try to compile it. If the modules were in trunk, developers
may notice errors or warnings as part of the normal build process.
