 * milestone:  5.1 => 5.1.1


Comment:

 Thanks for the feedback, y'all. Of those 20k potentially affected sites,
 ~4k are running WordPress 5.0, so these are the sites that are likely to
 upgrade to 5.1 as soon as its released.

 For the themes that use `wp_print_scripts()`, most of them check if
 comment threading is turned off before printing it, so a reasonable
 workaround is to turn that off.

 I like the idea of releasing a hotfix for this: we could use the
 [https://wordpress.org/plugins/hotfix/ existing hotfix plugin] for it,
 too. @peterwilsoncc: I can add you to that plugin, if you can wrangle
 adding the fix to it.

 Given the impact, severity, and workarounds for this bug, I'm punting it
 to 5.1.1.
