If it's very unlikely that bugs with 5.0 will be fixed, the minimum
required version in INSTALL.txt should be changed to 5.1 as well in my
view and your hint could be added:
==============
TYPO3 6.0 will probably work with MySQL 5.0, but if you find a problem
which does not occur with MySQL 5.1 or higher it is very unlikely that
it will be fixed in TYPO3 6.0.x
==============

Best,
