Do you really want stuff from 5.9 cherry-picked to 5.6?
Why should a patch merged into 5.8 right now be a better candidate to cherry-picking than one merged into 5.9? It runs through the same scrunity (CI). IMO it's actually harmful to keep 5.8 open if we don't intend to make a release based on it. We keep the overhead of maintaining and merging multiple branches without any benefit.
