Maybe "5.x" would be a better name, incase there's ever a 5.11 release for example?

I think a 5.x branch is a good idea. It's nice to have a functioning/stable baseline to compare against when having problems with 6.x. I think we should only merge conservative and/or serious fixes into the 5.x branch though.
