This is what I meant when I previously mentioned seeing RFCs targeting 
5.7. I understand what you say and I do wholeheartedly agree with you.

However if one would have to strictly follow what has been voted, such 
features should be backported to whatever becomes 5.7, if any. Perhaps 
the  5.7 RFC could explicitly states what is (not) going to happen wrt 
those RFCs.

Likewise. And there might be more that I haven't looked up.
