+1
While I don't envisage any major problems for myself with this, I am
also a little concerned as mysql is one of the few packages I actually
rely on for my day job, so I'm a little wary of having the choice
removed for me (I like to keep minimal differences to the live
environment where ever possible and while this intention pretty much
always bogus as I have different versions, but at least at the moment
it's the same project). It's not a huge deal for me to build my own
mysql packages if I decide I need them, but I'd certainly rather avoid
this if possible.
And if you do decide to do it, please do announce it in an official
thread and gather feedback as Luc mentioned.
