My main reason for mentioning version 5 was mainly to avoid thing the
limitations on the length of VARCHAR fields (which could only be up to
255 chars prior to MySQL 5.0). This has bitten some people using
CharFields in Django and they had to switch to TextFields, which present
themselves slightly differently.

I wasn't intending to imply the verison number was related to
transactional availability. Apologies for any confusion.
