I believe it's a matter of different cultural backgrounds: core
developers and old users are mostly concerned about portability, SQL
standards compliance, result correctness. MySql community is geared
toward speed, ease-of-use, web integration, hyped featurism. While all
these goals belong to the other "camp" as well, it's a matter of
approach. Personally, I don't like Monty and other's approach which
seems to come from people who never opened a Database theory textbook
(strictly IMVHO ofcourse).
