Future possibility of concurrent MySQL access?

Does anyone know if there might be a future where MySQL queries get executed concurrently? Or maybe up to X number of queries executed at the same time?

No, it would be a significant breaking change.

How difficult do you think it might be to make a different version that supported concurrent queries?

Why would adding more potential threads to the current MySQL extension break things? I'm not challenging you, but you know the source code better than I do.

Not difficult, but rather useless without a load of helpers for managing in-flight requests. Not really worth the effort for little gain.

It would break things because the current guarantee is that queries of the same priority are sequential, and almost all plugins rely on that behaviour.
