this will happen time by time... We have two options:

1) start releasing tech-previews later
2) start releasing tech-previews earlier with risk of breaking

Hm, there will be more unstable or non-documented areas in GRASS 7.
Excluding them from tech-previewes will be extra work for packagers
and the benefit will be debatable.
