My suggestion was to start a GRASS 7 release branch and stop adding new features to 6.x *after* 6.4.4 stable is released. Too complicated to work on 2 active release branches at the same time.

I think we have too many issues with 6.4* that need to be resolved quickly that we can start thinking about grass7 after we have a stable (in the sense as described by Glynn) version of GRASS that people can download and that works. Currently, we have stable GRASS6.4.2, but it is not very useable on Windows and GRASS6.4.3 changes every day so students have different versions depending on when they downloaded and addressing any issues that they may have gets messy pretty quickly. Moreover, there are issues with Mac binaries as well.

I have to use GRASS 7. ... so the idea to start a GRASS 7 release branch would address that nicely. we started discussion with an idea to reduce number of branches we currently maintain ;-) I personally think it's too much soon for grass 7 release branch. Let's say I would postpone it to the beginning of the next year, then GRASS 7 could be released eg. around June. Make sense to you?
