My guess is that its intentional. Oracle is who they are and MySQL is eating their lunch. I look for them to kill the product to try to drive MySQL out of business or make life difficult for them; hence the reason they're working on a new storage engine of their own. They tried to buy MySQL, but when they couldn't they bought up the two pieces of software that gave MySQL ACID transactions (innodb and Berkely (sp?)). They will renegotiate the contract, but make it very expensive for MySQL to license. You don't honestly think Oracle is going to be honest about this do you? They have absolutely no interest in helping MySQL survive.
Sounds pretty fishy to me no matter what they're saying publicly.
