Because it isn't a disaster.  It doesn't affect every user out there. 
It probably doesn't even affect a majority.  I have 5.1.0 installed on a 
couple of different servers now and everything works fine.  That doesn't 
mean it shouldn't be fixed quickly with a 5.1.1 in the next day or two, 
but pulling the release doesn't make sense to me.
