FWIW, I got 7.2.1 into Fedora yesterday via maintainer Devrim Gündüz
(my updated SPEC file + ctypes patch):

Ok, back to the topic:
If the majority of grass-devs thinks that a 7.0.6 release is not
needed, I'm ok with that. Maintainers just need to understand that the
final patch from #3331 is needed to compile with GCC 7.
