My personal pr= eference would be that 5.3.2, not be released from a separate branch. It was actually the exact opposite. We did not miss patches once we were synced. The way we tracked the patches also let us actually define what must go in and what not, avoiding the classical last minute bad patches. The key to success is to do not let go months between a commit and its merge to the release branch, which was a real pain when we began 5.3.1.
