I look forward to a time when MySQL will use OSS development once again. It is not an economic risk, it's a massive business asset to do so.


Sorry to troll, but I just cannot resist:
Exactly who is the main sponsor of work on drizzle?

And btw, everyone active on this list (and not only this one, mind you) believes in OSS so there's no need to go all "you guys do it wrong" on us, just because we happen to work for this company. I'm not getting a paycheck to contribute to this project, but yet I'm here, am I not? (same is true for Mark)

Forgive me for being terse here, but MySQL *IS* doing it wrong. And people are noticing.


I'm sorry, with what we are talking about here I do not agree. Sure, we are doing things wrong in a number of Open Development areas and are (maybe slowly) trying to fix that. This project is a shining example of how it should be done (why do you think so many of us internal MySQLers have flocked here, we watch, try and learn, and try and disseminate what we are seeing here too).

However, with this thread pooling feature I absolutely think we made the right decision - to re-write it to something more applicable to everybody, and release it in an Alpha version to stabilize, would you disagree with that? And if so - why?


Nope, I would agree with that. That generally should be true of any non-legacy product - open or not. My comments were mostly in regards to the derailed to the topic side-conversation about MySQL's issues it is currently facing. For that, simply read my previous e-mail - no need to rewrite all of that here :)
