So, to ask a stupid question

Why not call the hypothetical 2.5.3 that we know we'll need 2.6.0
instead and then move forward with more breakage in 2.7.x?

Otherwise, we're going to have a lot of coordination to do for Fedora
land if we want to push anything newer than we ship in FC5 to push
updates for other things dependent on the yum API.
