Not really.  MySQL isn't like PostgreSQL with respect to its database
files.  It doesn't require a dump/restore during upgrade.  Upgrading
MySQL is generally as simple as dropping in the new binaries and maybe
making a few modifications to the configuration.

It's more of a problem if there are backwards-compatibility issues
with respect to the SQL implementation or something.  Of that, I can't
speak.  But that will only be a problem if the database is being used
for something else in parallel with DBMail (which might be a
significant fraction of the userbase for all I know, so it's certainly
a consideration).
