There indeed are handful scheduled removals.  I do not mind declaring 
that 1.6.0 comes after 1.5.4, or just relabel the removal schedule for 
1.6.0 and keep the scheduled change on hold a bit longer.

I can think of two other user-visible changes which have been discussed 
that might warrant such a version bump:

  - option parsing tweaks (hopefully these should be minor, but it is
    clear that we cannot be 100% consistent while retaining the
    identical previous behavior)

IMHO this does not warrant a version bump.  It should be mostly 
behind-the-scenes, after all.

  - moving dashed forms out of paths

Playing it safe, and waiting with this after announcing it more obviously, 
is something that I appreciate.  Too many scripts can break, and I am sure 
quite a few of mine will; I simply do not have the time right now to audit 
them.
