We have always added small features in patch versions. Just look in the
UPGRADING or NEWS. E.g:

5.6.5:
  . Fixed bug #68479 (Added escape parameter to SplFileObject::fputcsv).
(Salathe)

5.6.3:
  . Implemented gmp_random_range() and gmp_random_bits(). (Leigh)

5.6.1:
  . Implemented gmp_import() and gmp_export(). (Leigh, Nikita)

I'm pretty sure there is more in 5.5. I don't see how suddenly it is not
allowed. This is an option addition, something that always was OK in
patch versions. Or do you see some other concern that I miss here?
