In all these cases we are going to support 3 branches in parallel, is that
really what we want ?

I would be happy to see 5.3 in security mode only before the realase of 5.5.

Also, I wouldn't make a connection between release of the next version with
the EOL,
as the next version can always be delayed and we want to limit the support
time of old
versions to focus on stable and php-next development.
