IMHO it is friendly to users/packagers to have a release which have the latest features and API/ABI compatible with older releases. Distros or third party packagers can provide upgrades without breaking dependant apps. We followed the same path for the last major bump. Also I find it better to let things cool down a bit before we do a 6.0 release with the new major versions, even if the "unstable" period is 1 week only or less.
