I think that 5.0.XX makes sense for the branch that'll eventually be
created for the 5.1 release.  For the development sources, I think
that Michael C's suggestion of "5.1-experimental" (or whatever it was)
is preferable since it also clearly distinguishes between release
candidates and the ongoing development on the trunk.
