Great!

I guess I have a slight preference for doing it on the branch as well.
The main difference seems to be that, if we don't, it will make future
mainline/6.0 comparisons harder but 6.0/5.3 comparisons easier,
whereas, if we do, it will make mainline/6.0 comparisons easier but
6.0/5.3 comparisons harder.  Given that 6.0 is about to be released
(right?), 6.0/5.3 comparisons should soon become mostly irrelevant.
Also, it will make it easier to apply testsuite patches to both the
mainline and branch, when appropriate.

Having said that, I don't really care much at all one way or another.
