With ext/mysql you, for instance, can not
- use stored procedures (there's no "mysql_next_result" or such)
- use SSL with custom keys (or some other "advanced"
security/authentication features)
- use async queries
- use prepared statements
- ...
As also said it's unlikely we'll add support for new server features to
ext/mysql, so the gap will grow over time.
Of course not everybody needs those, but starting with ext/mysql means
you have a hard time if you ever need those in future.

It needs some work, but not tooo much. Might still bring more benefit if
the time was spent on feature development.
