Come on. Mysql has been always been enabled by default.
*NO* Mysql was REMOVED as the default in 5.0.0 after lots of requests
from those of us who don't want it loaded. There was a democratic
decision to remove it.
*NO*. MySQL was no longer bundled from 5.0.0 because MySQL AB went GPL
on us. The mysqlnd library is their resolution for that problem.
MySQL was replaced by SQLite as the default database in the very first release
of 5.0.0 http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-5.php#5.0.0b1
The PRIMARY reason was because of the number of non MySQL users who requested
that. CURRENTLY the default sql connection is SQLite so there is no need to
add back in another option. The changes to the licence conditions just made
the CHANGE of database easier ;)
MySQL should NOT be loaded by default as well as SQLite.
