Hi.
today I did master switch for
en.wikipedia.org to mysql5.1, we have
been
running s2 (twenty other major languages) for few days
on fully-5.1
setup.
Some higher level description of the branch is at
http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/MySQL_5.1_(fork)
Actual tree is at
https://code.launchpad.net/~wikimedia/sakila-server/mysql-5.1-wm
Actual upgrade happened with no downtime, and there're no horror
stories
to tell about the process, was way too smooth.
Rest of cluster wil follow soon.
Cheers,
Domas

Good to hear!
My extension was broken with 4.0.40 (nested selects, perhaps). It was
very outdated version - any linux distribution has a 5.x for a long
time. Probably MediaWiki core will drop the compatibility, too.
