Yes, I use 0.9.4. According to b.g.o, there are only 4 open bugs against
mysqlcc (http://tinyurl.com/5lojj):

#41794 (dev-db/mysqlcc-0.9.3 missing files and segfaults) appears to be
fixed in 0.9.4, according to the comments (I never encountered the bug
myself, even under 0.9.3).

#57726 (mysqlcc failed to build) hasn't affected me.

#29689 (mysqlcc returns error during table creation about missing
syntax.txt at $HOME/syntax.txt) has an easy workaround, which only has
to be performed once.

#57308 (mysqlcc crashes strangely) hasn't affected me, since our tables
remain static. That said, this is a rather serious bug, and I can see
why you would like to remove mysqlcc from portage.

It is indeed unfortunate that the MySQL team (upstream) have dropped
support for their older products, while simultaneously claiming their
replacements (MySQL Administrator and MySQL Query Browser) are not ready
for production use.

Cheers
