mysql5 server (user account)

Hi,

I noticed that the MySQL 5 MacPort re-uses the "mysql" user account that is
already a part of Mac OS X. I am wondering if it might be better to create a
separate user account such as "mysql5" rather than re-use Apple's "mysql"
user account? I guess its unlikely that Apple would change the MySQL user
account that is packaged with Mac OS X but for a more independent approach
for MacPorts, wouldn't it make more sense to have a separate account?

Cheers,

-T.M.
