Yes. At least in my own company. We were picking a vendor and had gone deep in talks with the MySQL folks to license their technology, and then Oracle stepped in and we picked somebody else. Following the technology since then, it's clear that Oracle doesn't really know what to do with this thing. I think it would be a mistake right now for any company to pick MySQL for any major work without plans on moving it out of their product at some point in the future, it's simply on far too unstable ground as a database to rely on anymore.
