From a strict technical POV, most probably not, but since it should be 
the last release of 5.1 branch maybe it is a "marketing" issue:
it would give a "bad feeling", especially since 5.1 is not going to be 
ditched by people any time soon (LuaJit compatibility comes to mind, or 
wxLua, which is still based on 5.1).

Probably as a "legacy version" it would be better to make it 5.1.6. 
Maybe unfreeze it and wait till more people has the time for testing the 
whole distro better?
