Ok, I was not trying to imply that MySQL evolves in the same way .. only 
that it also evolves.

sweeping allegations?

http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/server-sql-mode.html
SET [GLOBAL|SESSION] sql_mode='ALLOW_INVALID_DATES'

That being said the solution is still lacking. I even filed a bug report  over this:
http://bugs.mysql.com/bug.php?id=17998

So I guess you can continue your commentary. Anyways, it was not my 
intention to educate PostgreSQL developers about MySQL, only that it 
would be wise not to make general comments about MySQL if you do not 
follow its development.
