I think that something like this will not make it into 5.x. With the 6.0.0 release just around the corner (probably a matter of days), 5.x goes into maintenance mode, and 4.x basically goes dormant. Maintenance mode basically means that no significant changes will happen, especially changes that might affect stability. A strict interpretation of this is "no new features", and this is typically the stance that most committers adopt for the previous major version. It also means that only *major* bugs will be fixed, especially as time goes on. You've indicated that you couldn't merge it cleanly to branch_5x. If the change requires significant work just to merge, and the functionality is already present in a later release, it's probably not going to happen. There are some important bugfixes that have already been committed to 5x, which should result in a 5.5.1 release in the near future, and it is entirely possible that somebody will volunteer to release 5.6.0, although the current changelog for 5.6.0 only has two issues, and neither is particularly interesting for most users. If somebody wants to volunteer to do the work, then what I've said might not apply at all.
