It won't.

MySQL doesn't have the base necessary to provide real transaction
handling.  They have to add real logging and real row-level locking
before they can support the higher level concept of transactions.

That doesn't mean that they don't claim they do.  But the bottom line is
that real transactions require a real log, and I don't see it happening.

Why?  Plenty of other products, such as PostgreSQL, provide this
functionality and more.
