afaik, the updates directory contains the latest updates to all packages that have been updated since the original .0 release.
Thats not true, the <rel>/updates/ dir will only contain updates released from the time that the <rel>/os/ was released. However, that is not an issue since yum does not consider repositories on their own, it merges all data into one set and then selects packages to update, therefore packages from the <rel>/os/ repository get included as well.
so, you really do want to stay with the /5/ release, in order to keep getting all the latest updates etc. and not use ( as you pointed out already ) the 5.1/ or 5.0/ directories.
