Comment (by zamoose):

 I thought the idea was to make it available for plugin authors (not just
 for core admin stuff).  The changes are pretty significant and unless
 we're planning on stripping it out, I don't see the logic in not
 updating...

 Full changelog
 [http://dev.rubyonrails.org/browser/spinoffs/prototype/tags/rel_1-5-1/CHANGELOG?format=raw
 here], with a basic rundown in the improvements being:

 *Incredible Selector speedup and full CSS3 support.
 *Full JSON encoding and decoding support and options for improved
 security.
 *Optimized Element#get/setStyle for cross-browser compatibility and speed.
 *Various String method enhancements and fixes.
 *The new Form#request method simplifies the common case of submitting a
 serialized form with XMLHttpRequest.
 *Many form serialization fixes—if you had troubles before, now they’ve
 been squashed.
