1) Replication is available in all MySQL configurations, be they for the
   community (free of charge) or for paying users.

2) Terminology: "GA" means "generally available" as in "may be used for
   any purpose", it is the short way of saying "production quality".
   So it is a software maturity level, not a configuration.
   The counterpart of "enterprise" builds is called "community".
