It certainly can't hurt! :-)

Good start.
Here are some comments (numbered to match your list):
(2) Another data point for performance. One of my machines is a
FreeBSD box with 2GB of RAM and a 1GHz CPU. I had it up to about
900 queries per second before the WAN bandwidth became the
bottleneck.
A 2 CPU Linux box (850MHz CPUs) with 1GB of RAM was doing roughly
2.5 times as much work in the same sort of test.
Oh, and did I mention that those were almost all UPDATE queries.
(4) I have a server here running 3.23.29-gamma with a 100 day uptime
and just under half a billion queries under its belt (right
around 465 million currently).
(6) I don't know that I'd deal with the stored procedures issue in a
document like this. I've come to find that folks who are
convinced they need them simply aren't going to change their
mind (without a LOT more convincing).
(7) Cool! We're listed. :-)
(9) Does MySQL often get accused of being "obscure"? This is the
first time I've heard of that.
I think there needs to be a "MySQL Doesn't Scale" Myth debunked. I've
done that internally a few times. I can help out with content on that
one if you need a hand.
Thanks for the great start.
