As far as I know (somebody please correct me if I'm wrong!), we provide legacy support to the previous tenths version increment only. In a practical sense, I think that essentially means EOL. Again, somebody please correct me if I'm mistaken, but I haven't seen any 5.2.x commits/etc since 5.4 was introduced. It's no longer on the main downloads page. Whether it's "officially" EOL or not I'm not sure, but in a practical sense I think it basically is. --Kris
