In some ways, the 5.0 version is a "fork" of the 4.7 code. The nice thing is that our current development method actually enables this. A suggestion has been to have the 4.7 "evolution" be the 5.0--1.0 tag, with the brand new code being 5.0--2.0
In fact, this is the responsible pattern to follow. Give folks an upgrade path that doesn't change the way things work, deprecate it if necessary, and continue development on the branch. Merlinofchaos has basically done just this with Panels, and the world is a happy place.
