Understood, but my request is not about just 'mentioning' it, it is 
about first adopting formal support for it, then eventually dropping 
support for mysql... personally I think it is important to do this 
sooner rather than later, seeing as how Oracle has such a bad reputation 
for destroying the quality of the software they acquire, which is the 
reason for my formal Feature Request...
