Don't get me wrong, I'm going to build a mysql 4.1.x server package so that I can use the new Administrator and Query tools by mysql ... so I understand why some packages might need to be upgraded.
Just a quick link to share with you, since you mentioned upgrading to mysql 4.1.x:
http://fedoranews.org/contributors/tony_smith/mysql/
I followed these instructions, and they are excellent. The benefit of doing it this way is that it is fully compatible with other RPMs that depend on the original mysql RPMs (like php, perl-DBD, etc). So you don't run into dependency issues. And this was one upgrade that was _definitely worth it.
Thanks, Ryan
