Of course we can release 7.0.6., still I wouldn't expect any distro
already shipping 7.0 to "upgrade" GCC to 7 without upgrading the rest
of packages, as GCC 7 would break not only GRASS GIS.

At the end it is call for the release manager (Markus?) to decide if
he's into packaging et al.

I would say that we leave it to distro maintainers to apply the existing patch if they really need it.

That means, some distros would update GRASS from 7.0.5 to 7.0.6 but not
to 7.2.2? Weird.

AFAIK their rationale is to introduce major updates only within a full
distro release cycle.
However, I am just guessing here, extrapolating from what I observed
in Fedora and Debian.

In Debian, it's mostly a question of timing between Debian freeze for a new
release and our releases. The new stable was released a week ago with
7.2.0-2, and Debian testing has 7.2.1-1.

FWIW, I got 7.2.1 into Fedora yesterday via maintainer Devrim Gündüz
(my updated SPEC file + ctypes patch):

:-)

Ok, back to the topic:
If the majority of grass-devs thinks that a 7.0.6 release is not
needed, I'm ok with that. Maintainers just need to understand that the
final patch from #3331 is needed to compile with GCC 7.
