We can consider it if it comes up for real.
Branching now means we'll have to merge a boatload of changes later into the
5.1 branch, to pick up (at most) a couple of minor changes collected in the
branch.
Anyway, there are other options. Someone can use a feature branch or, better,
distributed VCS. With git you can rebase your changes on top of the latest
Allegro revision and stay up to date. Once we do branch, we can just apply the
feature on top.
