I think I remember reading that mysql 6.x should be coming out in late
2008. That is probably at least six months from now. Then probably a
few months more until the 6.x certs are available. Of course, products
are often released late.

It is possible that 6.x will not catch on very fast. I have read that
6.x will not be all open. Web hosters may prefer to stay with the open
version. MySQL may even fork.
