I'm content with calling it 5.3.0.  It's the first release on the 5.3 code 
base.  Even calling something "final" is kinda weird, imo.  Like, 5.2.5 was 
"final"...except we released 5.2.6... The only way to declare something final 
is retrospectively: look, we didn't make any more 5.0 releases; I guess 5.0.19 
was final... at least for now.  

As for "alpha"... I think 5.3.0-SNAPSHOT fulfills that role, personally.  Now 
we have 5.3.1-SNAPSHOT; those builds are the "alpha" builds of the 5.3.1 
release.
