On the contrary. The article itself makes it plain that there is nothing about this decision that prevents someone from building packages for ANY platform. Since all Linux distros do this already, and since the net guarantees that there will be numerous indivdiuals offering binaries for Windows and Mac, again - what difference is this really going to make for end users? It effects MySQL's development. But other than allowing them to reposition developers, I see this as having no effect whatsoever on the end user.
