 are 59 total installs on 5.0.0, 5.0.1, and 5.0.2. And that number is
 probably inflated, based on how our stats collection works. I think it
 would be safe to bump the required version up a bit.

 Although MySQL 5.0.x is only 4.2%, the install count is still in the
 millions.

 MySQL 5.0.3 was the first to support > 255char for VARCHAR.
 Stats currently show there are 3 sites on MySQL 5.0.2 (running WordPress
 2.8 & 3.0.1), and 36 sites on < MySQL 5.0.15 (Ranges from WordPress 2.8 ~
 4.5.3). To clarify, We have no sites which are recorded as currently
 running MySQL 5.0.0/5.0.1/5.0.3 in the WordPress.org stats.

 If we wanted to bump the requirements in order to get >255 char for
 VARCHAR, then it's currently safe to bump it to 5.0.4 without any real
 user impact.
