I don't remember the whole thread but basically there is already a list 
of required _db_ modules within DBAL's hook into install tool. As long 
as the list of required ext may be overriden by DBAL, it's fine to have 
mysql as requirement in Core.

Best would be to have a concept of "these extensions are all required" 
and "at least one of following set of extensions is required". This 
would allow DBAL to say one DB driver is required or in Core either 
mbstring or iconv is required.

Cheers
