I hope you are talking about DBD::mysql there...
Yes, that was a typo, I was talking exclusively about DBD::mysql here.
That being said, as an aside, DBD::SQLite (and yes I meant that) is still a
valuable case study in that they also branched, back 14 years ago when SQLite 3
came out, using in that case DBD::SQLite2 that bundled the SQLite version 2 and
repurposing DBD::SQLite name, and bumping from version 0.33 to 1.0, to now
bundle the incompatible SQLite 3. In their case, it was a break for people that
simply upgraded the usual CPAN manner, and the fork was for people that still
needed to use SQLite 2 in Perl. DBD::mysql doesn't want to follow their example.
