i very much dislike that idea because a mysql3 will never be working as expected. It can never support multiple statements at a time or transactions or whatnot. Thus i pretty much want something that keeps me from using it until i am pretty sure i really can live with that. A distingushing by having to add the version for the old stuff would lead to that.
I agree with Wez, there seems to be little point in having two virtually identical drivers for MySQL in PDO. One common driver, where in one instance some functionality is emulated and in other natively supported. BTW In MySQL 3.23 transaction are possible, but you need to use innodb tables to "access" them. Having one driver would also make life simpler for people who need to work with both MySQL 3.23, 4.0 and 4.1
