Just curious:  Are you a customer of or investor in MySQL AB?  Have you 
actually purchased a license or support agreement from them?

Or are you, like so many others, expecting to have everything precisely the 
way you want it, before you even realize that you want it, even though you 
are not paying a dime for it?

Really.  Just curious.

Ahhh, I see.  So, you are _completely irrelevant_.

You are fully entitled to your opinion.  Yes, communication with regard to the 
4.x series needs some improvement.  Yes, they have taken considerably longer

But you are not a customer.  You have no right to demand anything of them.  
They are not accountable to you in any way, shape or form.

"You get what you pay for".  Accepting this is a part of growing up.
