[wp-hackers] Changing MySQL minimum version?

Just a point of information, 1and1.com, "The worlds #1 web host" in
number of sites hosted, runs 4.0.25.

But maybe, just maybe, since their blogging platform provided by their
control panel is Wordpress based, upping the requirement to 4.1 would
push them and others to upgrade.  It's a risk.

Frankly, I wish they'd just upgrade to 5 so I could get stored
procedures.
