AFAICS, neither of these are things that we could or would want to
integrate into the core mysql^H^H^Hmariadb packages.  So what this
comes down to is whether there's somebody who wants to maintain them
as separate Fedora packages.  (I don't personally want to.)  We'd have
to work out how they would coexist or conflict with the core packages.
