No.  Do not do this.  Please disable the _profile_ for mysqld
if it is causing problems:

  sudo apt-get install apparmor
  sudo touch /etc/apparmor.d/disable/usr.sbin.mysqld
  sudo /etc/init.d/apparmor start
  sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld restart

or, just flip the profile into complain mode:

  sudo aa-complain mysqld

better yet, fix the profile:

  sudo vi /etc/apparmor.d/*mysqld
  sudo /etc/init.d/mysqld restart

Do not remove the entire subsystem.  :P
