It's been a while since I contributed anything to the core, however I
remember what a mess it was to cross merge back in the CVS days and I
honestly do not see a big reason to make a "bigger" mess by branching yet
another version, I think we can easily cope with having 5.5 as the current
master branch like we did with the original 6.0 so until 5.4 is gonna
"retire" or go into security fixes only mode like 5.3 currently is, then I
think it makes a little sense to do so.

Now I realize that we are trying to speed up releases and I probably
skipped a few discussions which will render my mail here void, but until
5.4 is in "security-fixes-only" mode then I think 5.5 should remain as the
current master.
