This amuses me to no end. Today, on Slashdot, Ars Technica, and other sites, there has been a story circulating about a blog post by Michael Widenius, one of the core developers of MySQL. The core of his post is that there are a series of significant bugs in the 5.1 release which should have been dealt with before declaring General Availability. My first thought was, "wait a minute, don't I have 5.1 on my mail server?":

kibble:~ andrew$ pkg_info | grep mysql-server
mysql-server-5.1.29 Multithreaded SQL database (server)
