Just a note that ENGINE is in use and TYPE has been removed. The rest of
the items in the list still need to be addressed.

Changing the python to require a newer version of MySQLdb is
probably low effort.

Checking the drop code changes (set ignore foreign keys) and testing
nuke is medium effort. Requires some mysql setup and testing.

Rewriting filters to use subselects is probably high effort.

This issue should probably should be replaced with three rfe's each with
a different effort level. This would be low effort 8-).
