I'm more in favour of releasing a GA.

So, RC4 + sec fixes (that's OK) + revert of
e4ff7f2ee346d641715694209e61704c9e815483  (done in last 5.4 and 5.5
releases) + fix for #67694.

That's the safest path to have a GA soon (we are late) and on a stable
code basis.

Then we'll start our classical support plan, and have a 5.6.1RC1 in two weeks.
