What is the bug? It does not appear in the site you linked to. It would be surprising if Red Hat are unaware of upstream changes as one would expect it to be rolled out into Fedora rawhide at least even if the changes are backported int RHEL.
*packaging bug* the link shows that upstream is named all lowercase for mysql, so the rpm should also.
And the other bug is in yum-priorities. It is not protecting base against certain dependencies being pulled that obsolete base packages. The plugin should reject non-base packages that replace base packages much like it protects from updating base packages with non-base packages.
Someone interested to become famous by looking into and fixing this ?
