Hi,
Due to Oracle's recent and absolutely unforeseeable new plans with MySQL, I thought it might be a good opportunity to put mariadb into community for those that depend on MySQL. Mariadb is designed to be a drop-in replacement for MySQL and as such I wondered whether it would make sense if mariadb replaced MySQL. Mariadb also conflicts with MySQL files which at least necessitates installing them to an alternative path.
I'm willing to maintain mariadb in community.
I'd like opinions on this.
I agree even bringing other forks of mysql to community, my unique concern is, how qualified do you feel to maintain them? I hope you're not bringing mariadb just because oracle, else because you feel a master (relatively speaking) with mariadb. That said, if you feel you're qualified, i don't have any concern to have mariadb in community under your responsability.
