backwards compatibility since grass 6.0.0 in March 2005 is no mistake.
it suggests that any code written for grass 7 will work for a similar time
frame. and there is nothing stopping anyone from running grass 6.x well
into the future, or continue with grass 5.4 for that matter.

to limit ourselves from any change would guarantee obsolescence. the
great trick is to compress all that good change into a single instant
which are far appart, rather than to allow continual change with no
stability.
