There are some rather large collections out there that use amarok specificallt
because of mysql support. I'm talking track totals of 20, 2=30, 50, 100,000
tracks. These collections choke every other media player, but amarok handles
them quite well. So, I guess you could go ahead and drop supprt, but if
there is an easy way to leave it, I would say do it.
Also, it isn't such a strange use case to share a database. I did it for
awhile with mysql and it worked quite well. No matter which computer I was
using to playback, home, work, laptop my stats would get updated. Nice. I
recently rebuilt my computer and had to return to windows for my laptop for
work reasons, but I think more than a few people do this.
Just sayin'
