I wouldn't really say that. Right now Gentoo is the "out of date" one, |
| 2 |
given that it's significantly more difficult to install MySQL 4.1 over |
| 3 |
4.0 under it. Via the debian method (which isn't perfect!) I can just as |
| 4 |
easily install 4.0 or 4.1, and it'll complain at me if I run a downgrade |
| 5 |
from 4.1 to 4.0. |

|

The point is more that 4.0 should be the default, and 4.1 should be just |
| 8 |
as easy to install if you want to. As time moves on more and more |
| 9 |
applications will become 4.1 or even 5.0 compliant, and it won't be as |
| 10 |
much of an issue to drop 4.0 once it's unmaintained. Right now it seems |
| 11 |
that folks are trying to force it the other way around; pull the system |
| 12 |
up to working with 4.1 so it can become the default, rather than |
| 13 |
allowing those who can progress to do so more easily in the meantime. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
4.1 is rather old at this point, and 5.0 is (possibly) just a few months |
| 16 |
away. It might be worth looking at. |
