The next release in June is quite reasonable, although not strictly a
bugfix release.

If there aren't many regressions reported before that time, leaving the
planned release dates as-is is probably fine.

Otherwise scheduling a bugfix release before that time, 4-6 weeks after
the 5.0.0 release, is probably a good idea.
