5.4 is a good example of what we *don't* want to do with minor versions. It consisted of a
messy list of "those bits of the abandoned 6 which didn't quite make it into 5.3".
If we want major features more often, we can have major releases more often. This figure of 10 years
gets mentioned a lot, but with annual releases, it wouldn't be unreasonable to expect 8.0 by
2020 (a year after 7.4).
