I would have to concur. More broadly speaking, I would say that
variants should continue to serve as very coarse-grained knobs, not
fine-grained ones, and mysql5 acting like a server would be more of an
expectation than a knob in any case so these are wrong on two
counts. :-)

be much better to remove the variant and just always create the
startupitem, since the cost of creating a startupitem is negligible,
while the cost of having to recompile the port if you forget to
specify
+server is considerable.
