This may go against the one stop setup for this cookbook, but for folks who may already be configuring their own mysql_service resource for the database, forcing the inclusion of the database recipe from this cookbook is very inflexible. Given that the database recipe doesn't allow any configuration to the mysql_service resource I feel that one should have to add wordpress:database to their run list if they truly want this cookbook to setup their DB.
