Actually, our "Slashdot Image" has been overwhelming positive over the last
year. This is mainly because Slashdot hates a successful (by some
definition) company, and always supports the "underdog". Check any post on
Red Hat, and you'll see how they became "the evil empire" the first quarter
they posted a profit.
Currently, this works in our favor, but if MySQL started to fall apart, it
would turn against us.
