Domas has posted to wikitech-l that all WMF MySQL servers are now on 5.1.
I understand MediaWiki continues to support 4.0 onward. Will the minimum version be raised as the main customer gets more heavily into 5.1?
(I have no objection whatsoever to requiring a later MySQL, just asking about future plans.)

He has posted that s1 and s2 now are on 5.1 I assume s3, s4, s5 and s6 are still on mysql4.
After WMF completely migrates to 5.1, I suppose MediaWiki minimum version will be raised when the next mysql5-only gets added. mysql4 may get some extended support in the form of if ($wgMysql5) guards, but the point until it is reasonable to do it, depends on usage of the already EOLed mysql4.
