Kewl!

grass70-svn is more feature rich [1], doesn't mess with the source code 
to enforce python2, but uses a (more) fool-proof trick [2] that also 
supports GRASS Python addons without extra patching, handles 
FORTIFY_SOURCE CPPFLAGS issue at configure more gracefully etc. It even 
has a nicer 64 pix icon ;).

All my other GRASS packages (grass64, grass64-rc, grass64-svn, 
grass65-svn) use a similar, consistent set of build options.

They don't conflict with each other at installation time (they normally 
would) to have full spectrum of stable and devel GRASS versions 
alongside for daily work and for easy access to new features, and bug 
hunting.

I advertised them on the official GRASS GIS download page [3]. There've 
been no complaints.

I used to be a proffesional GRASS user, and a contributor a bit as well, 
for some years. I still keep an eye on the project for a hobby.

I would like to keep maintaining a complete suit of GRASS packages, if 
this doesn't pose a problem for anyone.

Right.
