Err, nearly all the MySQL 5.0 features are things we've got already, and
they're still missing a lot. And other features are not what they seem
- for example "clustering" is restricted to data sets that can be held
in memory. Their V5 is a year late on a year schedule. And I can't
help suspecting that the replacing InnoDB is going to absorb quite a lot
of their engineering time in the next year.
