I only want to remove the mm.mysql driver currently bundled with james because they are LGPL and because they are not compatible with latest mysql servers (e.g. your 4.1).
You can still download any jdbc driver and use it with James as like as before! I want to avoid people downloading james with bundled org.gjt.mm.mysql driver and not understanding why it doesn't work with their just installe mysql server (they simply need a better/newer jdbc driver, that you correctly linked in your message).
