What can be more valuable than a general knowledge?
I didn't mean some idealistic notion of what's most valuable to
humanity. I meant money. There are plenty of MySQL databases whose
continued efficient operation is worth many millions of dollars to
their owners. Wikimedia's database is worth almost nothing
commercially due to its licensing. Databases that are valuable (as in
money) will have owners who are willing to spend money to get them
working better, and money is what MySQL cares most about. It's a
business.

An upgrade to MySQL 6 would make a big difference for

support.
MySQL 6 is still in alpha. It is not close to suitable for production
use. Upgrading to it is totally out of the question.
