because when you yum update, the delta is going to be a lot larger when 
you install machines with 5.0 - so why not install 5.1 and just get 
lesser number of updates ?

At the moment, if you install 5.0 and run a yum update, you can be 
downloading upto 1.6 GB of updates.. Not sure if you want to do that.
