Is MySQL fit for the enterprise?

"So, am I saying that MySQL is not, and never will be, a traditional,
mission-critical, enterprise database engine? No, certainly not. What
MySQL (the company) is doing is very, very smart. It has done a great
job of establishing the product in a niche market which includes SMEs
and departmental use in large enterprises. With the new tools and
support options, it has laid the foundations which will allow for
further expansion into the enterprise. What it will now do is further
develop the product and wait for further adoption."

Unfortunately it also talks about a company that moved from "Postgress"
to MySQL.
