I don't develop that way, and I know a lot of others don't either. Lot's of 
changes across the 5x and 4x make merging and future code work painful. I 
consider very carefully what I put in 5x only, otherwise I develop on 5x as if 
I'm developing on 4x. For larger issues, I do like to leave it baking in 5x for 
a while before going to 4x, but I take it case by case. 

5x does have some differences though. If I leave it in 5x for a while and then 
put in 4x, then someone releases the next day, that is no good.

Anyway, we all approach things a little differently - no one can force anything 
- we do consensus per issue.
