Comment (by knutsp):

 As long as we can disable mysql and enable PDO for any PHP version, and
 then run or test WordPress through PDO, we are fine. For PHP < 5.5, both
 drivers enabled, mysql takes priority. For PHP >= 5.5, both drivers
 enabled, PDO takes priority to avoid using deprecated functionality. For
 any PHP version, when only one driver is avaialable, WordPress will use
 that.
