about maintenance headache. |

I'm also sure it's stable, but I'm not willing to run masked packages on |
| 18 |
our main production server. Running masked packages (without unmasking |
| 19 |
everything) creates a maintenance headache. I'm trying to help get MySQL |
| 20 |
unmasked, so that people like me can use it without maintenance |
| 21 |
problems. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
As I understand it, the holdup is actually a feature in portage to |
| 24 |
automate the rebuilding if packages that link against MySQL, like PHP. |

Tell me about it. We get almost 1,800 queries a second, and the query |
| 31 |
cache is a /HUGE/ benefit for us. |
