RELENG_5_3 is considered ``errata branch'' so if there is some
serious issues then some of us may request an errata candidate
to re@ and there may be an ``errata advisory''.  Generally
speaking, I don't think there will be a 5.3.1-RELEASE.

Would you please explain what are these ``glitches'' and ``performance
issues''?  Are they believed to have been fixed in recent -CURRENT?

Maybe 5.4? =3D-)  The 5-STABLE ABI has been frozen so you would not
have to fear of a new 5-STABLE release :-)
