Which version of MySQL are we using now? The mediawiki site says that a new mediawiki installation is compatible with MySQL back to 4.0 -- does that mean we're still using 4.0 and haven't upgraded?

Hoi, It would be suitable when Domas says that we can support is. The current software may be stable, but keeping us from improved language support. Improved language support is what we need. Improved language support is essential for improving usability for the majority of our languages. Supporting languages is as technical as providing stability. How to weigh this is not obvious either way. Thanks, GerardM

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.

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