And than what? This will likely delay the 5.3 release by a year or so. No feature release for another year. No Bearer authentication for another year, no NTLM deprecation for another year.

We are not going to start cutting releases from it until 5.3 goes GA. If you do not like the 5.4.x name, we can call the branch far-far-in-the-future or some such.
