I'm beginning to change my mind. Imagine for a second the shock wave 
that would happen if PHP itself would drop the mysql extension. I think 
we might have a shock wave too if we drop it.

Technically, dropping mysql extension is OK. But I just did some tests 
with the mysql extension with a 5.0.45 client lib, and I could do 
everything:

- authenticate with a user having 4.1+ password hashing
- change his password
- work with views: select, drop, update
- work with stored procedures
- work with triggers

Needless to say, I'm confused :)
