To be frank, this sucks! Since all that enterprise stuff started, binaries are published on mysql.org much-much less frequently. I've been waiting for build containing a fix (version .48) forever... And still waiting. I am all sad because I started with mysql for its easiness and friendliness. I do not know how to build it for Win platform, and I do not want to know, I like the comfort and convenience of getting official binaries. And now that stopped. Sad, sad... Needless to say, if going with mysql enterprise (i.e. spend money), I would consider M$'s product for more features and better query optimizer... “I guess having bug fixes promptly available is one of the selling points of MySQL Enterprise.”

I don't suggest that your build is bad, just that these things happen and we need a way to identify the build if there is a problem discovered later. It also helps to know what version is needed to match core dumps if there is a crash problem. This request is just to make support easier. It's not an official statement by MySQL about how the trademark for MySQL's Community or Enterprise servers should be used in builds. I don't know if MySQL will have an official view on that or what it will be. Please don't stop building because of this possibility - I trust that MySQL will be nice about it if it wants a change. About the worst you're likely to get is a polite letter from someone in MySQL's Community team asking you to make a change and saying sorry for the inconvenience.
