This is the second time in the week that I have heard 'RC5', and have not
heard it mentioned before this.
I realize that many things happen in the crypto field that I do not see
right away, but how recent is the introduction of RC5 to the broader crypto
community?
~1995 or thereabouts. This is a *very* new cipher, so it's not
something I'd actually want to implement or use until it's had a
lot more shakeout time.
See Ron Rivest's publications web page:

which contains:
The RC5 Encryption Algorithm by Ronald L. Rivest. (To appear in
Proceedings of the 1994 Leuven Workshop on Algorithms (Springer).)

The source code included in the paper is "(C) 1995 RSA Data Security
