The main mysql dev has been dealing with a lot of real-life issues (school,
exams, etc) and hasn't had the appropriate time to make this work. However, he
does have someone he wants to bring on board to help take care of mysql and has
been doing a great job so far. I've been following bug 83011 as things get
closer to getting into portage.

About the unmasking... I'm not sure, 4.1 introduces a lot of migration headache
so the transition will need to have some kind of sane flow. I'm not the person
to really comment on that!
