F6:
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 = 1 ]; then
     /sbin/chkconfig --add mysqld
fi
/bin/chmod 0755 /var/lib/mysql
/bin/touch /var/log/mysqld.log

F7:
(Don't have an instance I can check...sorry)

F8:
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 = 1 ]; then
     /sbin/chkconfig --add mysqld
fi
/bin/chmod 0755 /var/lib/mysql
/bin/touch /var/log/mysqld.log

F9:
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 = 1 ]; then
     /sbin/chkconfig --add mysqld
fi
/bin/chmod 0755 /var/lib/mysql
/bin/touch /var/log/mysqld.log

F10:
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
if [ $1 = 1 ]; then
     /sbin/chkconfig --add mysqld
fi
/bin/chmod 0755 /var/lib/mysql
/bin/touch /var/log/mysqld.log

No differences I can see.
