And, for that matter, if it's in-house software, you managers are going to
*have* to bite the bullet and spend the money to have your in-house people
fix the software so that it is compatible with current releases.
Beyond that, how do you *know* that it's not compatible with 5.7? Have you
tried it on a 5.7 box? At least bring up a 5.7 VM and try it. If you don't
have one, you really, really need to have a test system - if your managers
have had development and test done on a production box, and they don't
understand why this is bad, then I might recommend looking for another
job, where they're not amateurs, in the worst sense of the word.
