Agreed.  Point releases have traditionally been for bugfixes only.
Sometimes we sneak new functionality in, but there's not enough of an
urgent, earth-shattering need for these functions to justify it.  With
our pace of yearly releases and the fact that 5.6 is already in alpha,
it makes sense to me to be conservative and only add to 5.next.
