I love this from their blog comments:

A 46.7 MB patch set from 6.0.0 to 6.0.1?!? WTF?

The /vendor/ directory we always have to ship in full since we don't track 3rd party vendor individual file changes, so the incremental files may appear quite large due to this.
Jay C. Burton whmcs • an hour ago
And if there were no changes in that folder? Or are you saying there were also changes in that folder?
whmcs WHMCS Staff Jay C. Burton • 31 minutes ago
The folder will always be included, regardless of if there are any changes or not.

They don't patch security updates on EOL versions, well they didn't for 5.2 if I remember correctly.

5.3 should get extended support (LTS) and should not be EOL for another year... at least that's what a responsible software vendor would do.
In other news, WHMCS will be providing patches only to 6.x.x
given that 6.0 is not yet accepted as production ready, it seems a bit unreasonable to EOL 5.3 in just a few months time. lets assume it will take another 2 months before it is generally accepted as being production ready, that's only a month to test and deploy your production WHMCS before you're abandoned (WRT security updates)
is this a push by WHMCS to force users into using 6.x whether they like it or not?
somewhat cynical view, but it's interesting that support costs went up on June 22, and weeks later 6.0 was released (July 7th)

That's just how WHMCS do it
if you look at that table on the bottom the dates all vary 5.1 made in July 2012, was EOL in November 2013. This July it expires next July. They just want everyone on 6 as it's the first major release since cPanel took over. So if it's buggy or not you have no choice .

Heard weird stuff
like modules garden modules aren't fully working, solusvm had to update their module.Cron jobs breaking / piping breaking due to them moving the piping files.
FastCGI: Issue with WHMCS v6 on install and upgrade
Cron Jobs: WHMCS Cron Issues - 500 Error
TOS issue: WHMCS: Force clients to accept TOS doesn't work with PayPal Express?
Template issue: WHMCS Template Error (Might be an issue with a third party theme and not WHMCS)
WHMCS SQL Injection (don't believe it's patched 5.3 + 6.0): https://twitter.com/aboul3la/status/616589882077614080
There's a thread on LET with people complaining about stuff too, but that's all I know of.

Regardless of when WHMCS 5.3 reaches end of life, PHP 5.4 will stop receiving security updates as of the 14th September, according to this: http://php.net/supported-versions.php

RHEL7/CentOS 7 and Debian 7 will most likely keep supporting their packages of PHP 5.4 until those distro releases reach the end of their life cycle (RHEL7 doesn't end security support until 2024). Although obviously the backporting gets more limited as time goes on, there will still be security support for a long time yet for those distro packaged versions, long after the PHP team moves on.

Seems to work fine with WHMCS 5.3 so no issues with the 5.4 EOL here.

Do you know if solusvm released a updated plugin yet? That's kind of what I've been waiting on. But I'm glad to see that I waited with all of the randomness that's been going on with the update.Heard weird stuff

Sorry for the delay mate, yeah they have a new update it came out a few hours after the release.
So, to those of you who have upgraded: What are your thoughts? Happy with it so far?
I run a WHMCS install for managing the billing of advertisers but haven't upgraded yet since some comments here weren't super positive. Though upgrading is on my to-do list, just after I do everything else that is on my list as well...
