Good topic for discussion. I think that GRASS7 should stick with the
current conventions to retain backwards compatibility.

But I thought the whole idea of GRASS7 was to introduce new functionality that is not necessarily intended to be backwards compatible with 6.x series? The place to make the change, if anywhere, must certainly be in 7 as so much
else is changing in the codebase as well.

I agree. GRASS 7 is there to make radical changes.

In this particular case we could add metadata, if not present it
is apparently GRASS 6 data stuff, otherwise read what the
metadata suggest for the orientation.

I agree.
