if Michael Widenius (co founder of MySQL AB)  writes that in a blog
then you can savely assume something is wrong.

It would be the same as if Kasper would write such a blog about TYPO3.

What he is saying is that current MySQL's development model is wrong and
it should be better community driven much like Drizzle and PostgreSQL.
The community decides when it's ready rather then some manager
says '1st of Nov we have a release, no matter what!!!) The same would  
be if Ingo is saying that
and he wouldn't listen to you about any serious pending bugs.

He is also saying that if you are serious about using MySQL, you  
better test it very well before
you actually use it.

That said, I don't think that the TYPO3 community has to be worried,  
TYPO3 basically uses all features
that where available in MySQL 3.x (Is that SQL 92??) and doesn't use  
any features found
in current version of 5.0 or 5.1 (Correct me if I am wrong)
