The main mysql dev has been dealing with a lot of real-life issues (school, |
| 11 |
exams, etc) and hasn't had the appropriate time to make this work. However, he |
| 12 |
does have someone he wants to bring on board to help take care of mysql and has |
| 13 |
been doing a great job so far. I've been following bug 83011 as things get |
| 14 |
closer to getting into portage. |

About the unmasking... I'm not sure, 4.1 introduces a lot of migration headache |
| 17 |
so the transition will need to have some kind of sane flow. I'm not the person |
| 18 |
to really comment on that! |
