No. 5.005 has jumped the shark.

Frankly, I consider 5.6.X to be so old that supporting it is purely a 
courtesy to those contributors known to rely on such an outdated release 
(for whatever questionable reason).

As far as I am concerned, even 5.8.X support becomes optional about a 
year after RedHat/CentOS drop support for versions of their 
distributions that ship with 5.8.
