Comment (by scribu):

 As much as I'd like for us to just switch to PDO and be done with it, I
 think scottconnerly's approach is the safest:

 > WordPress should use PDO by default, but fall back to mysql_* when PDO
 is not present.

 Later on, if needed, we can switch the fallback from mysql_* to mysqli_*.
