Besides the technical side you already got answers about (keyword
rawhide packages) the background why Fedora up to now does not ship
MySQL 4.x is simply the fact that the MySQL FOSS exception was published
and accepted by Red Hat when FC3 was nearly finished for releasing. So
it came too late to integrate it into FC3. The current development tree
(aka rawhide) contains the newer version and next FC release 4 will
contain it (just like recently released RHEL4).

Please search the list archive for more background information and
several long and heated discussions about the MySQL issue.
