Given that WMF is one of the largest and most visible MySQL users, wouldn't it be possible to push this a bit? Perhaps even help with developer time (that would otherwise be spent on working around this problem)?
Wikimedia is nowhere *close* to the largest MySQL user. It's a mid-sized MySQL user at most. It's one of the largest *websites* using MySQL, but there are data warehouses and whatnot that have vastly larger databases, and definitely more valuable ones. Besides, we don't pay them any money, unlike some of their enterprise users.
