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.

By the way, I'd appreciate an Ack or comment on the recent pserver
authentication enhancements in c934dca22ee07cb3ca146a249bdb73ab0f30b2b1
(Authentication support for pserver); I do not mind merging this in
1.5.4 as the change is fairly isolated and should not affect people who
do not use the feature.
