You forgot about PostgreSQL... :-)

Though, if MySQL does go away for whatever reason---not that I expect it
to---then I think that there will be a lot of money up for the picking
for people that are able to quickly convert applications from one system
to the other, especially for applications that do not use a database
abstraction layer of one form or another, and simply call the database
directly.
