Near future is always vapor until it is real. As for business usage, old
versions are what are already installed due to slow roll out cycles. 

Of course a very good reason is that they are examples of poor developer
attitude. Many of the features we sometimes point out that have
historically been missing are because of the attitude. Hell quite a few
of the feature completions are due to merging other products code into
the code base. 

This is the same reason why the postgres project has been known
historically to be slow. The preference was for feature completeness and
proper behavior. As I understand performance has only been a priority in
the last several releases.

Of course as some of us have experienced, the feature completeness and
proper behavior allowed for a more graceful degradation than the same
load on a default mysql deployment.

Well, this portion may have strayed from original topic far enough to no
longer be appropriate for this list, but is still somewhat relevant to
the original post.
