I'd really like to see these changes merged before the creation of grass 8
branch.

Maybe we can agree on a deadline that suits both the need to have an 8
branch for the upcoming conferences where a GRASS 8 demo is already
accepted (*FOSSGIS is in ~2 weeks*) and the time needed to complete ongoing
development at least up to a working version that can be merged.

@Maris Nartiss <[email protected]> what do you think?
