Since 5.1 integration does not replace 5.0, the SUNWmysql5 packages (containing 5.0.*) are still a valid part of OpenSolaris which means they need to be maintained for now. Upcoming OpenSolaris releases will have both SUNWmysql5 and SUNWmysql51 packages so we can't assume everyone will switch at the same time immediately (the opposite is the safer bet, hardly anyone upgrades immediately). As to how urgently this needs to be done depends entirely on the nature of bugs fixed in 5.0.* line since 5.0.67 (the currently available version). If all fixes since 5.0.67 are minor/obscure bugs that mostly don't impact users, it's not very urgent work. OTOH if there have been security vulnerabilities or other P1-level bugs fixed in the 5.0 line since 5.0.67, the version upgrade needs to also be done at a P1 level ASAP. The project team needs to be aware and follow these 'upstream' bug fixes to know what the urgency is and to react quickly if in some future an urgent fix (e.g. security vulnerability) goes through. -- Jyri J.
