I'm +1. Jani's recent 5.3 changes should be reverted, PHP_5_4
rebranched again, and then the fixes/features merged to the new
branch.
I'd also like to see us start a slow deprioritization of 5.2 work.
Instead effort should go into making 5.3 the prefered stable branch.
One specific example is that Test Fest 2010 tests shouldn't be merged
to 5.2.
