Hi Colin,
Yes, this has been brought up, and everything you've mentioned before
has also been brought up. Our canned answer for this is that the
internal server QA processes have improved tremendously, and there are
many many test cases and an impressive test suite, hence MySQL has
decided to try a "reverse Enterprise" model
Oh come on. *Just today* another incident has caught my attention which
shows a lack of QA for basic things: 5.0.48 was pulled because of a
stupid bug which should have been caught in basic QA. You may be ready
to call the community unnecessary for QA, but I am not.
Regards,
Jeremy
