Greetings,

Yesterday, we pushed mysql55 5.5.41[0] and mysql56u 5.6.22[1] packages 
into the stable repos.  Soon after this, we got reports that mysql would 
segfault when starting under certain conditions. The RPMs from Oracle 
are also effected.  Seeing that a fix is not immediately available and 
it is already effecting a fair amount of servers, we have decided to 
remove the effected versions from the stable repos and replace them with 
the previous release.  We made this decision only after consulting with 
our group of trusted DBAs and after much debate.

See Oracle's bug[3] for more information about the bug.
