Thanks for reviewing and approving the MRE for mysql-5.5; on the back
of this I'd also like to apply for a MRE for mysql-5.6.  All of the
rationale for mysql-5.5 applies to mysql-5.6 as well.

mysql-5.6 will be available in universe as a first GA release for
14.04; the server team will likely be proposing a change in default
for 14.10 so we'd like to start updating mysql-5.6 with point releases
in 14.04 as well.

Thanks

James
