I believe the statement made was "don't use that SQL code strategy
because it's not supported by MySQL 3.x".  In other words, I believe
the main developers are keen on remaining 3.x-compatible, at least for
the near future.  They've been just as willing to maintain Qt 3.1
compatibility for similar reasons.

I applaud their efforts in maintaining compatibility with systems that
have wide deployment and not cutting off the hands of users who use
systems that aren't bleeding edge.  I encourage the developers to
continue in that vein and maintain compatibility with Qt 3.1 and MySQL
3.x for a while.
