Actually that's exactly what the JOSM devs announced: After the JOSM j5 stable version is finished the j6 development continues and if anyone cares he can do backports of all the developments. But none of the current JOSM developers wants to do it and most probably it will be impossible to backport some of the new features because they are only possible with j6 without rewriting most parts of the app. Besides I think there's a lot of fuzz about this move: If you check the editor tags in the latest changelog you can see that roughly 50% are using JOSM 2055. That's a 7 month old version and was issued stable back then. Even without the updated relation support many users seem to be able to get along very well. I think that 3155 will be useful at least the same amount of time. And if you miss something in winter 2010 you can switch to merkaartor or Mapzen 2.0 or OSM2Go or iLoe or OpenMaps or ....
