It's on the version of mysql shipped with F10, so if it's compiled you 
need to give command line parameter to enable it. If it's not compiled 
you can download the source package and enable configuration in 
spec-file + recompile. Then you will be still using rpm's etc. You just 
need to keep track on the bug/security reports and disable automatic 
update for that package to prevent mishaps.
