I'd concur with that.

Most people we deal with simply outsource that aspect as well now,  
i.e. they ask someone else or if they have an existing arrangement  
they trust their judgement. In that realm, relatively few people trawl  
through the MySQL changelogs. Even the SunOracle stuff is fairly  
extensive and somewhat confusing, particularly for people who don't  
deal with it in-depth on a daily basis (which is most).

Arjen.
