Because an absolute ton of code was rewritten.

Try the following, if you have a cheked out 5.1 system from a local
copy of the repository via cvsup:

	cd /usr/src
	cvs diff -r RELENG_4 | wc -l

This will tell you how many lines of changes there are, not
including completely new files.

Be prepared to wait an hour or so while it spews the diffs.  8-).
