Why do you think it needs to be addressed in 5.1? AFAIK, the fact
that the release branch was cut means that only relatively safe
bugfixes are accepted on the branch. This change doesn't seem safe
enough IMHO, since we still continue arguing whether there are or
aren't cases where Dan's change matters.
