Not supported is a bit strong, since ext/mysql is still bundled with PHP,
but Sun/Oracle have been focusing on mysqli for the last few years, and
the current plan is to deprecate the mysql extension in the next PHP
minor/major release (most likely to be numbered 5.5) with a view to
removal in a subsequent release.
Those keeping a sharp eye on the mysql_connect() manual page will have
noticed a new note appear last week (there's an ongoing debate about how
prominent to have it, since it's currently fairly buried), which reads:

So whilst ext/mysql may be supported for now, that's unlikely to continue
indefinitely.
