As the subject implies, there is a variable named $wgDBmysql5. I am
inclined to believe that the purpose of this variable is to use features
only available in MySQL 5.0 or later. The specific implementation affects
the encoding in the database.

Right now MediaWiki installation requirements say you need MySQL 5.0.2 or
later. So my question is: is this configuration variable still necessary,
or should it be deprecated?

Heya,
I just posted an initial proposal to start running a biweekly showcase to
feature all the cool things that are happening on Labs. Please have a look
at https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Showcase, express your interest and
chime in on the Talk page to help get this off the ground.
Best,
Diederik
