Hi!
Any new PHP major release is about setting new directions. I, Andrey and Johannes, the guys maintaining ext/*mysql* recommend going mysqlnd after an "incubation" of some four years (5.3x series + dev time).
My concern was also that making mysqlnd the default would make libmysql support considered secondary and unimportant. As I was assured it is not the case and the differences between mysqlnd and libmysql flavors seem to be rectified or in the process of being rectified, and I heard no objections for this as a default, I'm OK with it now.
Jippie! Removing libmysql support would be crazy. Not only from a PHP perspective but also from a MySQL one. For PHP it is a must-have fallback option. For MySQL the PHP stuff is a nice libmysql test drive. Not a welcome job among the mysqlnd fan boys, as you noticed. But then, sometimes we count mysqlnd vs. libmysql issues... Ulf
