Merging changes between grass7 (trunk) and grass6 branch seems to be completely impossible. I have no strong opinion if to create releasebranch6_4 directly or to create dev branch for grass6 (let say develbranch_6) and then sub-branch it -- releasebranch_6_4.

I think so. > I have drafted a management page here: > http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7Planning It would be great to start developing grass7 (to create devel/release branch for 6.4 as soon as possible) and go ahead.
