Does anyone have a clue as to what upstream are likely to be doing w.r.t the sub-release in a release situation ? As in, will there be a 5.0.1 and 5.1.0 ?

As far as I understand it.. yes there will be a 5.0.1 and a 5.1.0.

The 5.0.1 release should only be security errata and will be built against the 5.0.0 glibc and libraries.

The 5.1.0 release will be product upgrades and security errata. New security errata for the 5.1.x tree will be built against the 5.1.0 updated glibc/kernel/etc. The API's shouldnt change but I am guessing there might be some ABI issues.
