I'm 99% sure there are others SQL modifs to do, see below. That's why I 
won't say in 2.2.7 "we are mySQL 5.0 compliant", otherwise we will be 
overwhelmed by new bug reports.
koha 2.2 is now stable enough, I thinks it's a very bad idea to 
reintroduce unstability.

You are right here : our experience shows that many SQL statements are 
no more working properly with mySQL5 (summary : it's outdated way to do 
SQL joins : using where instead of LEFT JOIN).
So the problem is not so easy to fix, because we can't say "2.2.x is 
only mySQL5 compatible, and rewritting queries is not so easy.

Most (all?) distros are provided with mySQL4 as well as mySQL5, so 
that's not a major problem I think.

In rel_3_0, toins is working hard to achieve mySQL5 compatibility, and 
it's not a small task because it requires many many testings.
