I have no idea what you mean. We don't force MySQL in any way.
If you grab the PHP code and do: ./configure&& make
there is absolutely no MySQL. You have to explictly do --with-mysql to
get MySQL support just like you have to enable other non-default extensions.
What the Oracle/MySQL guys are suggesting is simply that when you do
specify --with-mysql the default should be mysqlnd.
All builds seem to have mysqlnd included by default? So that has to be tested on
every installation even if it's not going to be used? And I've hit problems with
distributions needing MySQL because of a dependency on mysqlnd.
I know we have had the discussion before, but if it is a general library for all
databases then call it something else, if it's specific for MySQL then it only
needs to be installed when MySQL is available on a system?
