Oracle owns the mess now. I assume the next release will be 5.11, followed by 5.11i, and
then finally dropping of the 5 to be in line with how they manager their os, leave it to
just be 11i. To ensure it is smooth they will change the license and add $5k in suport
costs.

My thoughts exactly!
This article might help:

It worries me though that 5.1 went through a large number of alpha
releases, then a set of beta releases before the GA release came out.
It looks like they've thrown 5.4 straight out without anyone even being
aware that it existed!
Hell, 6.0 is on its tenth release and it's still in alpha.
Like you say, it'd be interesting to see which blackhole 5.2 and 5.3
fell into...!
