There was no consensus, I am not sure where you get the idea.

However, we discussed to wait a bit before proposing the RFC to
clearly and cleanly define the EOL of 5.3.

I will clean up this RFC and call for vote later this week (most
likely tomorrow). It is very important to follow this step instead of
simply say, hey, I will go down this way because I like it ;-)

The delay is way too short for 3rd parties to adapt.
