Not second class citizens. Just not bugs.
In software parlance, a bug is when a software product was designed to do A, and it either doesn't do A or it does B instead.
What you're describing are typically called enhancement requests. They are things developers can do to make the product nicer, or easier to use, or to appeal to a particular group of people (e.g. in your case, to people that don't like Apache and MySQL).
A bug is something that we must fix before 3.0.5RC2 can become 3.0.5. By contrast, we could decide to do the things you're suggesting, but we don't NEED to do them prior to releasing 3.0.5. We could decide to let them slip to 3.0.6 or 3.1, or whatever.
As to your "better place" question, I'd say that this particular topic is more at home in the 3.0 Development forum, and should be titled "Some suggestions for improving 3.0.5," or "Improving support for non-Mysql instances," or something like that.
In addition, I would also submit that you are more than welcome to help make these enhancements yourself, and since most of them are documentation-type issues, you don't need to be much of a coder to help make the changes. Find the particular piece of documentation/code that you'd like to change, change it, and submit your changes via this forum for inclusion into the final product. Or perhaps the changes you're describing are in the documentation Wiki, which you can edit yourself by getting an account there.
I hoped my response helped.
