Mh - probably in a complete U-turn (just as well Vger is off sick), I'm going to put in support for MySQL5.

Why? Because MySQL4 becomes unsupported in Dec 09, so it's just question of getting the timing right.

Personally, I think anytime from Jan 09 would be open for debate, but site owners would need to be given enough warning to upgrade their scripts.

It will be upheaval - no doubt, a lot of old sites (e.g. osCom) will stop working, but that doesn't change the fact that we'll have to upgrade anyway at some point.

So - yes, people will be unhappy, but it's gotta be done. Just give everybody plenty of warning and as much time as possible to upgrade.
