"In contrast to the MySQL Enterprise Server, which receives both
monthly rapid updates and quarterly service pack releases, there is
*no specific schedule* for when a new version of the MySQL Community
Server is released. While every bug fix that has been applied to the
Enterprise Server will also be available in the subsequent Community
Server release, there will be source-only releases in between full
(source and binary) Community builds. So while the latest published
community sources will always be available from the Source Downloads
Section, the binaries listed on this page may be from a previous
release. In any case, full binaries for all our supported operating
systems are and will remain conveniently available from this page."

Sure it is, but it's not always current. I've seen it take as long as
a month for the latest build to make it into precompiled format on
Windows. It's no worse than what Windows users have to suffer if they
want Apache with SSL :)

In both cases, there are folks in the community that fill the gap, but
its not quite as easy as make install, yum/apt/whatever, or sudo port
upgrade.

I should have been specific about my criticism being the speed of
tracking. It used to track great, now it's just OK without the
enterprise subscription (which is pretty awesome in and of itself).
