This was because of licensing issues... MySQL changed their license in 
4.0, and the new license was just strict enough that RedHat couldn't 
legally distribute it.  So RedHat stuck with 3.23.x.  I've heard rumors 
that MySQL has since fixed that problem with the license, but since 
RedHat still has 3.23.x (even in Fedora Core 2), I don't know how true 
that is.
