Not really our problem, is it? If they stick with 5.4.x, they should be good. But for anything with 5.5+ and wp, mysqli is used. That means that any 5.5+ and wp, they already use mysqli. However if one relies on patched core wp and did not manage to actualize their various plugins to use mysqli... Really nothing we do will help them.
