If your plan is to reinstate the mysql_enable_utf8 behavior as in 4.042 rather than adding a new option for this behavior, then branching from 4.042 seems reasonable to me; but you should be very clear if this is your intended approach, as this is what led to many people corrupting data as they send blobs to mysql with the same mysql_enable_utf8 option, and expect them to accidentally not get encoded. -Dan
