I would expect that a few users will still have to stick to 5.2 for a  
while. But those can block the Horde 5 packages then, have at least  
one year of time guaranteed until the switch to 5.3 becomes mandatory.  
I think that is a reasonable compromise between being modern and  
supporting legacy.
