Oh, yes, thank you very much for supporting this and other relevant two threads!

Yes, what MySQL was over ten years ago would not be a role model for us. OTOH,
recent MySQL under Oracle should be improving much -- adopting InnoDB as a
default storage engine, transactional data dictionary, etc. (Somewhat
offtopic, but their documentation quality is great.)

Hmm, if that were the case, then some people would say the unlogged-table based
approach is also be dangerous, saying "Users don't read the manual carefully
and easily think that making all tables unlogged is good for performance."
