Comment:

 Incorrect. PHP with mysqli can also have the mysql extension installed and
 enabled. Since we support mysql < 4.1 and we use no > 4.1 features, there
 is really little incentive to use mysqli. A custom db.php in the wp-
 includes directory could use mysqli to call the queries. Perhaps open an
 appropriate ticket on allowing something to bypass the check to see if the
 mysql library is loaded.
