Can't we all just get along - EnterpriseDB and MySQL

I am not a big fan of marketing and my lack of fanhood extends to MySQL with their Falcon push. Now we have this gem from the CTO of EnterpriseDB.
One big issue with MySQL is that they continue to suffer from shipping products very late and with big quality issues.
I don't think this message is new. I just find it funny that EnterpriseDB is delivering it. They seem to be turning their attention from Oracle to MySQL. That must mean that MySQL is doing well in the marketplace. MySQL is certainly doing better in the marketing marketplace. They were featured in the Wall Street Journal and EnterpriseDB was featured on the blog of Curt Monash. They are also doing much better at trends.google.com.
 
Can MySQL survive the constant attacks from Bob at EnterpriseDB and Emma at Ingres? When will Sybase join in?
 
And in case you missed it, I have been linked by one of my favorite bloggers.

  1. Or that MySQL continued fumbles are opening them a chance to enter the market for web 2.0 sites that MySQL seemingly had under control. Anyways, EnterpriseDB also held a webinar recently and published a whitepaper comparing PostgreSQL to MySQL. That paper was lala in quality. It missed several opportunities to hit home against MySQL and presented some topics somewhat unclear.
