In a mail server we have, the mysql upgrades are problematic: while the
sql server is off, postgresql reports that mailboxes (whose entries are
stored in the sql database) don't exist, i.e. a permanent fatal error,
and mails then get lost. We haven't found how to make postgresql return
a temporary error instead, and so we have to be careful, when upgrading
mysql, to keep postgresql stopped until mysql is restarted.
