Stas,

if you are really concerned about tests, aren't you a bit late, are all 
the 5.3 releases to be considered instable. I mean, they use the same 
tests. Andrey may know better, but I even assume mysqlnd to be very, 
very similar in 5.3 and 5.4. How strong is your argument, how many 
critical differences are you aware of that prevent a config.m4 change? 
If there are criticial differences of much practical relevance, how 
could we miss them, why are we not seeing more bug reports?

With all given respect, I think you are going a bit far here. You seem 
to be extrapolating from "test x does not work in configuration y" to "z 
is instable/incompatible with y".

You have one argument against the config.m4 change that I get - the 
packaging/distribution one. But the test does not pass with X/Y/Z_old 
seems a bit weak to me.

I hope, nobody is angry if I call it a day.

Enjoy the weekend,
Ulf
