[drupal-devel] MySQL 3, MySQL 4 and MySQL 5

At what point should we drop MySQL 3 support? MySQL 4 has been released on October 21, 2001 [1] and a MySQL 5 BETA release is already available from [2]. From my investigation, making MySQL 4 a requirement would allow us to use row-level locking and transactions, two features that are becoming increasingly important. If would allow us to get rid of the various MySQL errors, and would bring us one step closer to true database integrity. It would be nice if we could take advantage of these in Drupal 4.7.
