I've noticed that, too, but having installed them both (from source and from
packages), I have to say they're both "a pain" to install, at least as much
as anything is. Of course they are. They're complicated, and they're set
up to be flexible in installation on many machines.
It occurs to me, though, that many people may not install from source.
Maybe the RPMs are better for MySQL? I don't use 'em, so I don't know.
