The PVP says that one of the first two numbers are required to change
if an API change is likely to break code using it, so < 5.5 would
probably suffice. I expect that the new fgl changes will bump the
version to at least 6, but in principle if some severe bug is found
with the old version it could be possible to backport a fix, and
release a 5.4.2.3 with the old API but other fixes.
