MySQL continues to refer to both 5.0.x and 5.1.x as both being GA

And there appears to be no end-of-life statement about 5.0 apart
from them not producing pre-built binaries for four named OS's after
31 Dec 2009. In fact they state they are continuing to provide
source code and support for everything 4.1 and higher.
So maybe there is a need for a
MySQL41
MySQL50
MySQL51
MySQL54
separate ports, so that users know what they are actually getting
when they install/upgrade.
Though whether anyone still requires 4.1.x is a good question. But
it is allegedly still supported in the source repository for
security fixes.
Why would anybody want MySQL 5.0.x now that 5.1.x is available?
We already have a mysql4 port which provides 4.1.x, though I expect to
remove it next year after 4.1.x has been end-of-life'd.
I am in the process of removing the mysql3 port. See #20700.
