Deciding what releases something lands in is not just about 
compatibility, but about stability. A lot more testing will happen with 
a 5.x.0 RC than with 5.5.20, for instance. I guess it's up to the 5.5 
and 5.6 RMs to decide whether the severity of the bug fixed outweighs 
the risk of back-porting this to multiple releases.
