I'm personally a fan of one if we can do it. We've taken a bit of an "easier" path recently but it might be time to change that. Right now I'm not aware of any of our core usecases which need 5.x, all work with 6.x. I am aware of some BSPs on older kernels which would however have issues. I did nearly send a 5.x removal patch but wasn't sure it would be accepted by people quite yet...
