Right. The question is whether we can get them to update it. The
odds are that the MySQL and Oracle information is just as dated; so
really the only fair way would be for them to redo the whole evaluation
from scratch, which I could well believe they don't have the time for.
It would be good to at least try to get them to label the page with
the versions that they tested, and note that the info is now quite
out of date.
