I have only been following this thread loosely but I believe we all know the customer that paid for this work.
>From my perspective as I was involved in deployment, testing and the subsequent poor internal management, it was in a 5.0 custom build for a client that wanted 25,000 database connections (as previously stated, it was Solaris AMD and Intel only). The client who paid for the work wanted this to be placed back into the mainline code so they were not responsible for additional costs of future custom binary releases. It was not added to 5.1 because that was *feature?* frozen back in the ice age, yet and it's so funny, the variables for thread-management somehow made it into a 5.1 branch. I observed this in a MySQL training course again long before GA, so I don't know if it's still there. The client to my knowledge had no intention on this feature not being open source. Infact I suspect they would have happily seen it added to 5.0? I know it was released in some form (maybe rewrite) for a 6.0 alpha. I followed the WL for some time, but lost interest when it was code complete, but still didn't get included into 6.0 alphas. My 2 cents
