Why? It is *highly* unlikely that 5.1 will break *anything* for you. I
mean: Those are still the *SAME* software versions as in 5.0. And those
are the same software versions which will be in CentOS 5.5. Or 5.7. 

You will *NOT* get any security updates that way, you are leaving your
machines vulnerable - and that for *NO* reason.
