1 You know there are more deps to it than that. There's also the
2 MySQL-administrator, the query browser, and all related deps you have to
3 deal with. None of these are very mask-precious, and you can be sure
4 that most users interested in all of these features won't have the
5 know-how to set this up.

7 Sure, say that it's easy to unmask like that; but where is it obvious to
8 90% of your users about what to do in order to get MySQL 4.1 up and
9 running? Otherwise we could figure something out, make it more
10 obvious/easier to get the whole schebang going, and keep each individual
11 stable tree actually up to date.
