I'm proposing to at least bump to version 5.3.0 (as the minimal), release back in June 2006. Though a higher point release would be acceptable if anyone knows of any blocking bugs that were fixed later in the release series. Obviously, we want to try and use a version that gives both developers benefits, without hopefully causing most administrators issues having to manually update PHP etc.
I'd suggest at least 5.3.2. The first release is always unstable, I wouldn't recommend people be using that for production sites. 5.3.1 is patently broken, so the next logical number would be 5.3.2. This would still give us a release in the 5.3 series that's fairly well supported.
Let's wait a couple of weeks until after the git migration. It'll give us enough time to bikeshed over 5.3.n±1.
