but we talked about this in the fesco meeting and decided that we're doing a
versioned Obsolete.  So if a newer mysql package were to be built, it would
no longer be obsoleted.  Like I say, my impression is that we deferred the
question of what our desired outcome would be if that happened since there
wasn't sure to be a mysql packager yet (and still isn't I guess... although
we're getting closer to seeing one show up :-)
