I realized mysql5 and mysql5-server ports are still pointing to 5.0.x,

If I understand correctly, -devel suffix denotes that the port is a
development version
but this case, it actually provides GA release version.
So I think I would say they aren't so good port names.
I think simply naming them as mysqlXX(-server) is more intuitive.
Coincidentally, this seems the naming convention adopted in FreeBSD
ports.
What do you think of this? Do you think this is feasible?
I was not planning on changing the names. I was planning on upgrading
mysql5 to 5.1.x and mysql5-devel to 5.4.x.

I was just about to finally get around to doing that a few days ago,
but it seems mysql 5.1.x cannot be installed as a universal binary
whereas this was no problem for 5.0.x so I filed a but with the mysql
developers. Unfortunately I have not received a response on it yet.
