At this point, I'm very reluctant to re-release, unless there is a
security issue.  Perhaps for WinAVR, a minor patch can be included to
fix it.

If we really need to release again for a very high priority bug or
security fix, I'd say 5.0.1.  And even then, I'd say we do several
"release candidates" first so these things can hopefully get more
exposure and be found before the actual release is rolled and up on
the site.
