Little danger?!
Look, let's approach this another way. 3.23.xx isn't stable, and hasn't been
ever, because it _was_ a development branch, and you keep treating it as such,
while at the same time you call it your stable branch. This is wrong.
Perhaps you haven't heard of such a thing as a development branch, and
stable branch of code. Maybe you haven't heard the term "beta" and "alpha"
ever before. 3.23.xx is BETA, and unusable in a production enviroment.
Maybe I should say that again. 3.23.xx is BETA, and is unusable in a
production enviroment. You need a stable branch, and a development branch, and
you need them ASAP so that current MySQL code can be made stable enough for a
production enviroment.
Don't take this the wrong way. MySQL is a great product, but any great
software product is a piece of crap if its crashing and causing problems
because you keep it in a consitantly beta state.
Please act accordingly.
