<small>Well, life is not that black and white, luckily ;)<br>

Try authenticating with PHP to MySQL using certificates. That won't
work with the current PHP release shipped with RHEL/CentOS. There's a
bug in PHP 5.1 and it's fixed in 5.2. Since this is not a security bug,
but just missing (of wrongly implemented) functionality, it's probably
not going to be back ported.<br>
<br>
Since certificates (and PKI) are a pretty hot item these days, an
upgrade can be very useful.<br>
<br>
Just an idea that upgrading is not always about having the latest and
greatest.. ;)<br>
