Just read the webpage you mentioned:
Q: Does it offer all functionality of the MySQL Client Library?
No, compression and SSL support are currently missing. We have started
to work on compression support, SSL will come later.
* and *
The current release covers the functionality of the libmysql beside
some functions that are marked as experimental in the PHP
documentation.

So:
- doesn't break current PHP5 extensions, such as php5-mysql(i) or
PDO_MYSQL at all!
Nonsense - it does break API.
- comes with a superior license: PHP license, no need for FLOSS
Exception any more
Nonsense, you don't need any exception to link with libmysqlclient in
PHP. And there is existing exception in libmysqlclient.
- it's native: uses PHP memory management, supports PHP memory limit
- it's oh so native: keeps every row only once in memory, with
libmysql you have it twice in memory
Existing mysql extensions use memory limit as well. If there is
performance bottleneck or unoptimal behaviour in mysql extension, it
needs to be fixed there.
- comes with new features: keeps a long list of performance related
statistics for bottle-neck analysis
- comes with even more new features: persistent connections for ext/mysqli
So what? Two new features? Why they didn't add that to existing extensions?
- offers considerable performance improvements compared to
php5-mysql(i), for example when fetching buffered result sets,
client-side result set cache (pre-alpha design study in Bazaar)
So it will be fast, but not really tested? Ah, great.
- it's easier to compile: no more linking against libmysql
- it's yet easier to compile: no need to have libmysql on the PHP build host
Ah, more nonsense.
The webpage has more marketing stuff than technical.
It's yet again reinventing wheel (shared library).
