I agree that we're due for a 5.0.1.

One big issue that needs to be resolved before we can release 5.0.1 is 
the requirement for the STYLE= parameter in WMS GetMap request that has 
been enforced (as required by the spec) in MapServer 5.0.0 but that 
prevents clients such as Google Earth from connecting to MapServer 5.0.0 
WMS servers.

There is a RFC in the making to resolve this:
http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/development/rfc/ms-rfc-35

I'll reopen the discussion on this today and we should have a 5.0.1 
release soon.
