I prefer 5.4/6.0. For a given # of developer hours, we can get more
done on a trunk than on a branch + trunk.
My 5.3 versus HEAD comparison tables are pretty healthy. There are
no C++ regressions versus gdb (gcc is deteriorating but that is a
different story). All the MI tests changed so I can't compare them
between 5.3 and HEAD, but HEAD doesn't have big screaming blocks
of non-PASSEes in MI. There are about 5-10 things to look at overall
including the individual MI non-PASSes, which means there are probably
1-2 real bugs.
The bug database is pretty quiet. There are about 10 bugs filed
against 5.3. I don't feel like people are screaming at us for a 5.3.1.
