      4.1 has collations, ndb clustering.. I am currently deploying these
      features to our.. mission critical servers.. and I am playing with
      idea to use 5.0.13 for this - after very intensive testing of course
      :)..

      If one has no need for collations and clustering, then your advice to
      stay with 4.0 is good.. one might experience slight difficulties while
      migrating databases with utf8 data (length of keys etc.).
