No. 

Users would be able to user either collectd (4.x) or install collectd5
and switch to that. Updates should be available to both streams. 

If at some point down the road upstream stops supporting 4.x and
maintainers are unable to backport all the fixes, at that point they
could look at dropping support for it, or migrating users to 5.
