I'm more in favor of keeping the status quo and just fixing the docs to remove the feature, because:
1. Even though the patch was there, the feature was never enabled in our official 5.1 binaries
2. Enabling the feature in our 5.1 binaries would lead to either http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=52633, or (if the fix is backported) to an unconditional change from the documented behavior in net_read_timeout/net_write_timeout/net_retry_count in upstream 5.1.
Either outcome doesn't look good to me. Let's change it to a doc bug?
