The real problem is PHP. PHP is just the cruftiest language ever invented (trust me, I use it every day). The PHP people are totally dedicated to MySQL, to the exclusion of all rational thought (eg. When I asked Rasmas at a conference about race conditions in his replicated setup, he replied "it's never going to happen - MySQL's replication is just too fast...).
