yup
I go further and seperate data from binaries.
This helps with partion structure (i.e big data partions (/var) vs
smaller binary ones (/usr).
Thus I have a datadir=/var/lib/mysql
and install dir / prefix =/usr/local/mysql-$version
When I do an upgrade its as simple as stoping one and starting the new
one. If I need to rollback to an older version to due to an unforseen
problem then I just restart the old one.
