I still don't like it. Usability is an opinion based thing. Personally I
find MySQL confusing and illogical. However I know many people love it
for that very same reason.
I think we should drop the term usability as a selling part of the PR
and push it into further description.. Instead we should use a slightly
more expensive word (think 50 cents, not 5). :)
