Well, I can say that there are a lot of developers who are very
interested in getting 5.x-STABLE going, if for no other reason
than we can start work on the next set of really-major changes.
We can't start on 6.0-current until there's a 5.x-stable, and
at this point 5.x-current is pretty much off-limits for really
major (disruptive) changes.

So, we really do understand your interest in getting a 5.x-stable.
It is very likely that 5.3-release will be the start of the stable
branch.  We are probably not ready to make a public promise about
that just yet, but certainly a lot of developers have their own
private vows that "this is going to be it!".
