One minor gripe about that: MySQL doesn't provide a stable ABI across those micro releases for external engines. So, any external engine has to be recompiled. I have the problem with pinba-engine-mysql and didn't want to make the way to stable with the problem unaddressed. I've asked the release team for guidance [1] but didn't get an answer. I understand that there are more serious matters to address.
