Both 4 and 5 will be STABLE for some period of time. Sometime after 4 goes into security fixes only mode, I suppose it really should be relegated to questions@. (Reality...V3 questions still show up on stable from time to time and even the occasional 2.2 question.) Today and until 5-Stable appears, I think you really, really want to put 5.x stuff on current@ so it will be seen by the right people. -- R.
