Len, you asked:

   "all the fixes and enhancements released for 5.1 will also be 
released for 5.0"?

Yes and no.  I say this because it's possible that, due to the fact 
that 5.1 contains some features not present in 5.0, there could be 
fixes necessary only for 5.1

but if there is a bug that's known to exist in 5.1 *and* 5.0, then yes 
I'd expect the bug to be fixed in BOTH releases.
