Description
Currently GRASS is installed by OSGeo4W into apps/grass/grass-major.minor.release. Executable is called grass.majorminor.bat. Eg.
apps/grass/grass-7.4.4 bin/grass74.bat
Changing installation directory for each release is not practical from QGIS POV.
Suggestion from ML (https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2019-January/090919.html):
1.
apps/grass/grass-7.4 bin/grass74.bat
+ similar to Debian packaging policy - QGIS needs to be updated on every minor version
2.
apps/grass/grass7 bin/grass7.bat
+ QGIS updated on GRASS major release only + possible to install two major GRASS versions in parallel (like `grass6` package)
apps/grass bin/grass.bat
- not possible to install two GRASS major version in parallel. + no need to update QGIS at all
Related versions for daily package:
apps/grass/grass-daily-7.4 bin/grass-daily74.bat apps/grass/grass-daily7 bin/grass-daily7.bat apps/grass-daily bin/grass-daily.bat
Any comments/suggestions?

I'm in favour of option 1:
it's a good compromise between stability and flexibility.
as we don't have that much minor releases in a year, not much work on QGIS side. but we have the flexibility to have 2 minor releases side by side if needed.
