CA is evidently putting quite a lot of effort into it, according to 
yesterday's "State of the Databases" talk at OSCON.

It's probably a better choice to migrate to than MySQL(tm) if you care about 
the ability to have the database take robust care of your data.

On the other hand, if you have been mandated to use some application 
Specifically Written For MySQL(tm), there's not much that can be done. There 
are all too many applications of that sort :-(.
