In the new version scheme the major number changes with every release.

Using 5.1 for the next release is probably less confusing for users since a
lot of stuff changed (current master would be 5.0.0, release is 5.1.0,
branch version after release is 5.1.1). Someone would have to do this
number change.



Historically we bumped the first digit on major architectural or feature
changes. IMO 4.11 should have been 5.0 due to addition of SMP. Now that it
is very optimized and we feel it is ready for production use, I think
bumping to 5.x is the right thing to do.
