            IMO, you're better off sticking with the 4.x tree unless you
    know, for a fact, that you have some sort of problem that can only be
    fixed by going with 5.x. Once 5.3 is released and things have had a
    chance to settle down, you can decide if/when you want to make the
    upgrade.
