It'd be great to have it for 5.3. The 5-STABLE Roadmap doc still shows 5.3 (and March 15th) as the flag day, so it definitely seems like a good time to toss the switch. For what it's worth, I spent more time preparing to do the upgrade than I did doing the actual upgrade. The isntructions were clear, perhaps even overly verbose in the sense that I thought it would be more troublesome than it was.
