Yep, I had two mySQL services choke after the updates. Doing a manual
restart did the trick and all was well.

One thing I'd like to point out. Considering that many (all?) of us are
using the Fedora Legacy updates in an automatic mode, care should be
taken releasing an update for a major package on a holiday weekend. This
past Friday was Good Friday and though not an "official" holiday it is
common for many companies (mainly nonprofits) to take that day off. It's
also a prime day for people to take a day of vacation (if they aren't
already off). Releasing major updates on any major federal / religious
holiday is, IMHO, a bad idea. Releasing them on weekends can also be
just as bad.

Just some thoughts. Thanks all for the great work. :)

I've heard it said that the proof of lunacy is when you repeat the same
steps expecting different results.  I say it's proof that you're a
