 Severity:  normal        |    Keywords:  mysql, TRADITIONAL, sql-mode

 The installation script for WordPress relies on a bug in MySQL which
 allows invalid times and dates, as well as input which is not in an ENUM
 specification list.  In MySQL the solution for this problem is to set sql-
 mode = 'TRADITIONAL'

 But when the database server is set this way, the installation script for
 WordPress crashes while building the database.  There are numerous
 dateTime fields which have a default set to '0000-00-00 00:00:00'  These
 values are not allowed when sql-mode is set to TRADITIONAL.

 WordPress should not rely on bugs in MySQL.

 This bug is related to #2148 which was supposedly fixed, but apparently
 the solution wasn't complete.
