This case represents an EOF announcement only... the actual removal would
be handled later by a subsequent case. There is time pressure to get this
approved so the announce can make 2010.03 deadline, so a timely review by
another Member would be appreciated.
Thanks.

1.4 Description
This case announces the obsoletion of MySQL 5.0 in OpenSolaris.
5.1 is integrated with OpenSolaris for a little more than a year
now and products like php5,lighttpd14 have been migrated to 5.1.
MySQL has ended active development and support for MySQL Database
Server version 5.0. However, there is still extended support
available for paid customers with MySQL subscription only. For
details,see
http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/lifecycle/#calendar
According to the MySQL Lifecycle Policy
http://www.mysql.com/about/legal/lifecycle/#policy
only Security and Severity Level 1 issues will still be fixed for
MySQL 5.0. For the above reasons, it now makes sense to announce
the EOL of MySQL 5.0 in Opensolaris.
Since MySQL 5.1 has been a part of OpenSolaris for more than a
year, users should move to 5.1 version. The plan is to announce the
removal of MySQL 5.0 in OSOL.2010.03 (this case) and later remove
it (to be covered in a future case).
1.5 Previous Relevant ARC cases
LSARC/2007/608 - Include MySQL5.0 with OpenSolaris
LSARC 2008/150 - Including MySQL 5.0 64bit and connectors with OpenSolaris
LSARC 2009/062 - Including MySQL 5.1 with OpenSolaris
2. Technical Description
MySQL 5.0 is a popular opensource database bundled with OpenSolaris.
For a long time, various users/products were using MySQL 5.0 as their
preferred database.
With the inclusion of MySQL 5.1, it's expected that users now move
to 5.1. Upgrade procedure to 5.1 has already been covered at the
time of Including MySQL 5.1 in OpenSolaris (refer to
LSARC/2009/062, section 5.1).
Since MySQL has announced the EOL of 5.0, a warning message for the EOL
of 5.0 is being targetted for OSOL.2010.03.
3. Interfaces
All the MySQL 5.0 interfaces (refer to LSARC/2007/608 for complete
list) are now marked with the Obsolete modifier.
