Correct. 5.x does not have this feature; Aaron, please read for yourself 
before you are rude towards others.

Are you sure you toyed with it? And in a production environment, I'd 
still recommend 4.10.

Correct. Pawel's patches haven't been incorporated for various reasons, 
but I'm not a committer, so I won't give them. There have been several 
threads on the list questioning this over the last year and a half.

I have run the MIP patch and found no problems. I believe there is a 
race condition that it introduces, but that could be irrelevant / 
incorrect information. I'll leave it up to PJD and others to provide any 
more information if it is necessary and to you to search the lists for 
the other relevant threads.

Kind regards,
