Description:
https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/grant-tables.html:

"Before MySQL 8.0, grant tables used the MyISAM storage engine and were nontransactional."

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.4/en/grant-tables.html:

"Before MySQL 8.4, grant tables used the MyISAM storage engine and were nontransactional."

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/9.0/en/grant-tables.html:

"Before MySQL 9.0, grant tables used the MyISAM storage engine and were nontransactional."

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/9.1/en/grant-tables.html

"Before MySQL 9.1, grant tables used the MyISAM storage engine and were nontransactional."

I don't recall the actual version were the grant tables were made transactional, but clearly that version cannot be all of 8.0/8.4/9.0/9.1 at the same time.

How to repeat:
Read docs.

Suggested fix:
Mention the actual version where the grant tables were made transactional.
