shouldn't it be that by default mysql is installed with preconfigured database 
setup, ie you just install mysql package and you can already start using it 
(indeed limited only to localhost access)

and clustering setup is for advanced users, who will have to call 'service 
mysql init'

also on a clustering side, i think the sockets should be put to /var/run/mysql 
directory (dir owned by mysql user), so that i can have my clusters in 
filesystem without having everybody's access to that directory (where are my 
mysql datafiles)

/mysql = mysql:mysql:700
/mysql/cluster1 = mysql:mysql:700
/var/run/mysql = mysql:mysql:755
/var/run/mysql/socket1.sock = mysql:mysql:777
