I think I should clarify. From what I understand, 5.4 is the last 
release in the 5.x branch, and when 5.4 is released, 6 will become the 
STABLE branch for the next RELEASE. 4 still has a STABLE branch, and 
I'm sure 5 will after that, too, but the next releases will be 
developed on 6.x. I wish I could find the message, think it was in the 
current list ...

Anyway, if this is wrong, someone please correct me.
