Actually, I was thinking more like 6.0.  That occurred to me when you
mentioned that it's still the most widely-used branch and that numerous
projects still rely on it.  I'd hypothesize that it's less likely that most
of these folks will bother to upgrade if it's still in the 5.x branch.  I'm
thinking this version-specific cutoff would only apply to security fixes.
 I'm not sure if it's a good idea or not, but I figured it was worth
mentioning.  Unless it's just me, it might be worthwhile to add that as a
voting option.
