To make things clear:

I think that MySQL 5.1 is (much) better version of 5.0. It's
*labeling* 5.1 as GA that I am not agreeing with.

If you use any of the new features, you should use them with a bit of
caution. They work for a lot of people but, as can be seen in the bug
reports, there are still some rough edges that shouldn't be in a GA
releases. When you have 10+ millions of users, it's not good enough
to be 99 % good.

Regards,
Monty
