According to this document, the active support for MySQL 3.23 will end at the last of this month (ie on two weeks) and the extended support will end on the end of this year.
I therefore propose that we formally drop support of MySQL 3 as of Drupal 4.8 which will appear later this year.
Let's drop support for MySQL 3.*. Let's NOT drop support for MySQL 4.0 -- as mentioned by others, it will continue to be supported for a number of years. Thanks for pointing us to that document, Gerhard. -- Dries Buytaert :: http://www.buytaert.net/
