I personally don't know how I feel about a 5.2 release. There probably are bugs
in the stable branch that haven't been there in Octave 5.1 and that have been
fixed on the development branch only (e.g. bug #55908 [1]).
We are not many developers. So I don't know whether we shouldn't better spend
our limited time to get the default branch ready instead of fixing issues on
the soon to be deprecated current stable branch.
But I won't hold anyone back if we agree on delaying Octave 6 for another dot
release.
