Hi all, even the GRASS website [0] gets confused about all those branches. GRASS 6.4.3, the next stable release, is currently hidden under GRASS 6.4.2, current stable. Therefore there should be 4, not 3 sections: 6.4.2, 6.4.3, 6.5, 7.0. This is however IMHO too much, confusing for users and a maintenance burden for developers. The purpose of the existence of 6.5 is not clear to me, particularly since it is pretty much identical to 6.4.3. Using 6.5 as testbed for backporting does not make sense to me, I would prefer to use the current releasebranch as testbed for backporting (higher quality, hopefully, and faster bug fixing). IMHO, it would make maintenance much easier if one of 6.4 and 6.5 would go rather sooner than later.
