> In the end, it is an evolutionary compromise between getting flexibility and
performance on the one hand, and sufficiently correct behaviour on the
other. My personal opinion is that the success of the database is in large
part due to the constant focus on ensuring the flexibility and performance
needed by practical use

This makes sense to me. However, something puzzles me. If mysql places more 
importance to flexibility and performance, aren't there any 
customers(especially financial fields) greatly complaining the subtle 
incorrectness of mysql,  leading to money loss and business failure ? If there 
are, is it enough to push mysql team to correct some incorrectnesses that Kyle 
found ?
