A final 1.5.x release?
I don't remember if we've discussed this before, but I've been
thinking about cutting a final 1.5.x release. It's been more than 4
months since 1.5.6, and there are a number of pending nominated fixes
in 1.5.x/STATUS. We still claim to support the 1.5.x release line, so
it makes sense to cut an additional release, but I don't know what the
use demand is.
Thoughts?

A few items proposed in STATUS for 1.5.x have already been merged to 1.6.x.
Why don't votes on backports automatically count for both active branches?
We could just assume an implicit +1 and merge the candidates that are
already in 1.6.x. Unless someone explicitly vetos a change for just one
particular release line, or there are significant merge problems for one
release line (which will be noticed, someone has to do the merge),
I don't see much reason for spending the additional review cycles.
