Do you think it's worth to push out an RC5 and release it as 5.3.0 only changing the version number between them? I saw other projects doing this and I think it helps to prevent major issues due to last-time fixes. I have this feeling that 5.3.0 release is going to be traumatic!

Just my 2 cents.
