My point really was that it's a massive change between betas perhaps,
but it'd be an equally massive change from 2.0 to 2.1 if that is when we
were to migrate.  If mysqle was going to be usable anytime soon, it
might be better to push back release slightly and get it in now than to
try to have everyone converted to sqlite for 2.0, then converted again
to mysqle for 2.1.
