We can't really say that MySQL is still experimental: simply the experiment turned out to be a bad one ;-) … except maybe for Windows users.

-Please note that working with MySQL is still deemed to be ''experimental'' (¿is this still true?); there are a few rough edges, in particular in combination with using the version control subsystem. See the MySqlDb page for more details.
+Please note that working with MySQL is ''not'' recommended in general, as there are still a lot of rough edges. However, on Windows the main issues we have with MySQL tend to be less apparent: the default setup for recent installations is UTF8, Windows users are unlikely to have case-sensitivity pathname issues in their repositories (as Subversion won't let them create such paths in the first place), etc. So MySQL on Windows might well be a more viable solution than on Unix, for the time being. See the MySqlDb page for more details.
