I'm wary of sticking with anything starting with 5.3 if we're going to
break binary compatibility on the new trunk (which we presumably are)
— it undermines the usual binary compatibility guarantees on "stable"
branches, even given that the new trunk is a development branch. As

I completely agree. IMO, there's nothing wrong with calling it 5.4 now
and renumbering it to 6.0/7.0/whatever (in the same manner as what
Postgres are currently doing with 8.5 becoming 9.0) later if it makes
sense to.
