I'd like to float the general idea that an upgrade to a project like
Grass should not be in beta until key dependent projects (such as QGIS)
are working with the new upgrade.
I see this as being in line with OSGeo Incubation guidelines:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Project_Graduation_Checklist#Projects
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Project_Graduation_Checklist#Marketing
On the immediate question of which version of Grass to use on
OSGeo-Live, our policy is has been to always use stable versions, even
if that means to go back a version:
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Live_GIS_Add_Project#Which_version_to_use.3F
With OSGeo-Live, we focus on not having bugs as this is a major turn
away factor for new users.
Based on that reasoning, we should be selecting Grass 6, and avoid
breaking QGIS 2.8.
I acknowledge that we might need to make a special case for Grass. If an
upgrade to QGIS 2.10 achieves this, I'd be inclined to see if we can
make the qgis 2.10 upgrade a priority.

In Debian it's not a joke. GRASS 7 is still in experimental because it
breaks the QGIS plugin. There was strong user demand to not break the
QGIS GRASS plugin that convinced me to not move it out of experimental
before the QGIS issue is fixed.
I think this is wrong, I felt really sad about know this (I'm debian user).
GRASS7 exists since several years, there are a lot of new stuff for
users
Here for a summary:
http://trac.osgeo.org/grass/wiki/Grass7/NewFeatures
and it is not a fault of GRASS community if QGIS community was
not able/interested to update the plugin, so I think that the Debian
users have to use the latest and greatest GRASS version. Please move
GRASS 7 from experimental to testing as soon as possible (some Italian
Debian users were disappointed they cannot use GRASS 7).

OSGeo-Live's role as a showcase of the best of breed open source
geospatial applications is a good reason to not be as conservative as
Debian and update QGIS to 2.10 along with GRASS 7.0.1.
