I noticed that the MySQL 5 MacPort re-uses the "mysql" user account

better to create a separate user account such as "mysql5" rather
than re-use Apple's "mysql" user account? I guess its unlikely that
Apple would change the MySQL user account that is packaged with Mac
OS X but for a more independent approach for MacPorts, wouldn't it
make more sense to have a separate account?
What benefit would that have?
I remember that Apple added the "mysql" user in Mac OS X 10.2
precisely because so many people wanted to use MySQL on Mac OS X. I
don't think they're going to remove it again. It would break too many
people.
