After the session stuff ;-)

Currently we have some code in HEAD that is ready to release (imho) and does
not depend on MySQLi.
Regarding the fact that some of it affects the compatibility with recent
MySQL releases (4.1.1 and 5.0.0) I really think that we should split the
HEAD branch instead of keeping on merging into QA_2_5_5.

We won't have to create QA sub-branches of MAINT_2_5. It's just that I think
that the MySQLi work will take some time so we should at least keep the
possibility of releasing on or two more 2.5.x releases in the meantime.
