Sure, we could do another release in the next few days, but I would
probably rename the current one to 5.2a on the website and call
the new one 5.2b instead of 5.2.1 (just like 4.5a and 4.5b). Both would
live as 5.2 bundles at [1] but with different update levels.

Thoughts? When shall we do this? This Sunday maybe?
