Since you got some comments from Mark, please describe the motivation
for this change with v5.  Something explaining why to move off of the
LTS and onto this non-LTS version.  I'm not opposed to moving - just
want to know what benefits it brings, and have that recorded as a log
in the commit history so that it can be referenced.

Thanks!
