Yeah, if a bug is clearly fixed in 5.1, it should definitely be closed
as fixed. I think that's what we've always done.
If it's not clear whether it's been fixed or not, I would re-tag it as
5.1.0 or dev, ask for someone to test it again in the current version,
and close if there is no reply after several weeks.
I just re-tagged a bunch of open unfixed 5.0.x bugs against either 5.1.0
or dev, depending on whether they seem like suitable stable fixes or
development tasks.
