I guess any benefit will accrue over time. Since we're already clean  
on 5.5.4 it's no effort to stay still - but, of course, if we drop  
that support then it's something we don't have to think about in the  
future.

Emotionally I'm /slightly/ attached to our 5.5.4 support - having come  
this far with it - but rationally it probably makes sense to drop it.

So I guess that's +0 or maybe +0.5 from me - I certainly don't object.
